Linden Comansa was a company that began manufacturing jig and tool during the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mostly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house applications. What's more, 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 amongst the world's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among other things. The corporation became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suited for the particular 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.
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 engineer and design cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities which permit the production and development of even larger and more spectacular machines.
There are several specific benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to customers all over the world. These clients all over the world have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These different other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
