Ever since the year 1963, Linden Comansa has manufactured about 16,000 cranes. In Sweden during the year 1977, the very first Linden 8000 cranes were manufactured by Linden-Alimak. These models are considered to be among the very first Flat-Top cranes used for construction reasons. The actual idea of Flat-Top did not change until the Linden Comansa company adopted this particular description during the early part of the 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is currently a universally excepted term.
The flat top crane design is still manufactured by the company. They also make the LC 500 Series, which is an update from their popular NT Series. Comansa introduced the newest crane technology and the flat-top design. This series features a range of flat-top cranes consisting of 4 models. These flat-top cranes provide a maximum jib-end load of one ton and have lengths from 35 meters up to 50 meters.
Starting in the summer of 2008, the LC 1100 Series offers many innovations in comparison to the previous crane series which Linden Comansa provides. Some of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and improvements made to the design have greatly improved these machines' efficiency, comfort and capacity, making them a really popular piece of equipment. The technology has developed and the company takes pride in providing their clients a dependable, durable, quality machinery that is successful in many different settings.
The new LC 1100 series keeps the Flat-Top system in place, while still being much easier to erect. This is due to pre-installing the slewing and hoisting systems, along with the electric cabinets. These are installed at the factory and after that delivered to the customer. Furthermore, compared to the prior series, the lesser weight of the slewing structure makes the crane a lot easier to erect overall.
