Linden Comansa was a corporation which started manufacturing jig and tool during the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and various kinds of tools for both in-house and external applications. Furthermore, the company 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 immediately become amongst the biggest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst other things. The company became very busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machines were best suitable for the specific building methods being utilized 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.
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 which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the development and production of more incredible and even larger machines.
There are several specific advantages provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all over the globe. These global clients have purchased around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These various other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
