Linden Comansa was a corporation that started manufacturing jig and tool during 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 advanced machine tools, jigs and different types of tools for both external and in-house applications. Also, the corporation 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 world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among other things. The company became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes manufactured were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suited for the particular building methods being utilized 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.
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 that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the production and development of even bigger and more incredible equipments.
There are several specific benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all over the world. These global customers have bought approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
