Linden Comansa was a company which began making tool and jig during 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 industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and various kinds of tools for both external and in-house use. The company even specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to rapidly become one of the biggest tourism magnets within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst other things. The company became really busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suitable for the specific 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.
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 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 bigger and more incredible machines.
There are several specific advantages provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all over the globe. These customers all around the world have purchased about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines manufactured within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
