The company Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company started out supplying mainly the larger 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 jigs, machine tools and various types of tools for both external and in-house applications. What's more, the corporation specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become one of the globe's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst various other things. The corporation became very busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machines were best suited for the specific 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 which permit the development and production of even larger and more incredible machinery.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several specific benefits which has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa customers all around the world. These clients all over the globe have purchased around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments made in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
