Linden Comansa was a company which started making tool and jig during the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and various kinds of tools for both in-house and external applications. Additionally, the company specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures specially 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 world's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst other things. The corporation became very busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suited for the particular building methods being used at that time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a range of cranes with a capacity ranging from 12 to 42 metric-tons.
Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier by the early 1970s. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to design and engineer cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities which allow the development and production of even larger and more incredible equipments.
There are some specific 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 over the globe. These clients all around the globe have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These different other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
