Linden Comansa was a corporation that started making tool and jig in the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mainly 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 in-house and external use. The company even specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to rapidly become among the world's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were produced were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods at that particular 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 engineer and design cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which allow the development and production of even larger and more incredible machines.
There are some particular benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all over the world. These customers all around the world have purchased about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments manufactured within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
