Linden Comansa was a company which started manufacturing jig and tool in the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began 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 sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both in-house and external applications. The company also specialized in making 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 amongst the world's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst other things. The corporation became very busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suited for the particular building methods being used during that time. The 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 which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the production and development of more incredible and even larger machines.
There are some particular benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to customers all around the globe. These customers all around the globe have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These various other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
