The company Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." In the early parts of the 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig makers. 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 within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and various types of tools for both in-house and external applications. Additionally, the corporation 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 soon become one of the world's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst other things. The company became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suitable for the particular building methods being utilized at that time. The 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 engineer and design cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the production and development of more incredible and even larger machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers some specific benefits which has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa clients all around the globe. These global clients have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
