The company Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig makers. The company started out supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and various types of tools for both in-house and external use. What's more, the corporation specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to immediately become one of the biggest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst different other things. The corporation became really busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machines were best suited for the particular building methods being utilized at that time. The 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 engineer and design cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the production and development of more incredible and even larger machines.
There are some specific benefits provided 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 globe. These clients all around the globe have bought approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
