Linden Comansa was a corporation that started manufacturing jig and tool in the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began 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 sophisticated jigs, machine tools and different kinds of tools for both external and in-house use. Moreover, the corporation specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to soon become one of the biggest tourism magnets within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst different other things. The corporation became very busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machines were best suited for the specific building methods being used during that time. The 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 design and engineer cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the production and development of even larger and more incredible equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides some specific benefits that has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa clients all around the world. These global customers have bought approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
