Linden Comansa was a company which began manufacturing jig and tool during the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and various kinds of tools for both in-house and external applications. The company also 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 industry exploded to immediately become amongst the globe's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals 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 specific 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 design and engineer cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the production and development of more incredible and even bigger machinery.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several particular benefits which has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa clients all over the globe. These global customers have bought around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These different other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
