The corporation Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool makers. The company started out supplying mainly the bigger 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 external and in-house applications. The corporation also specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become one of the world's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst different other things. The company became very busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machines were best suitable for the particular building methods being utilized 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.
Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier by the early 1970s. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to engineer and design cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the development and production of more spectacular and even larger machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several specific benefits that has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa clients all over the globe. These global clients have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines made by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These various other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
