Linden Comansa was a company which began manufacturing jig and tool in the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house applications. Additionally, the company specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to immediately become among the largest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst different other things. The company became very busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suitable for the particular building methods being utilized at that time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a variety of cranes with a capacity ranging from 12 to 42 metric-tons.
By the early 1970s, Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to engineer and design cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities which permit the development and production of more incredible and even larger machinery.
There are several particular advantages offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to customers all around the globe. These global clients have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
