Linden Comansa was a company that started manufacturing jig and tool in the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and different types of tools for both external and in-house applications. Furthermore, the company specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become among the largest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among various other things. The company became really busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were produced were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suitable to the building methods during that particular time. The 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 currently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the production and development of more spectacular and even larger machines.
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 offered to customers all over the world. These clients all over the globe have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments made in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These different other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
