Linden Comansa was a company which started manufacturing jig and tool during the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house use. Furthermore, the company specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to immediately become among the largest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among various other things. The corporation became really busy, very fast.
Production
The first simple cranes manufactured were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suitable for the particular building methods being used at that 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 which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which allow the production and development of even bigger and more spectacular machines.
There are several specific benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to customers all around the globe. These customers all around the globe have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
