Linden Comansa was a corporation that began manufacturing jig and tool during the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out 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 advanced machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house applications. What's more, the company specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become one of the globe's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst other things. The corporation became really busy, very fast.
Production
The first cranes that were produced were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suited to the building methods during that specific time. The very 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 that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which allow the development and production of more spectacular and even larger machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides some particular advantages which has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa customers all over the world. These global customers have bought around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These various other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
