Linden Comansa has made more than 16,000 cranes since 1963. The first Linden 8000 cranes were made by Linden-Alimak, during the year 1977 in Sweden. These units are considered to be among the first Flat-Top cranes utilized for construction purposes. The actual idea of Flat-Top did not change until the Linden Comansa company adopted this particular description in the early part of the 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is presently a universally excepted term.
The flat top crane design is still produced by the company. They also manufacture the LC 500 Series, that is an update from their well-known NT Series. Comansa introduced the newest crane technology and the flat-top design. This series features a variety of flat-top cranes made up of 4 kinds. These flat-top cranes provide a maximum jib-end load of one ton and have lengths from 35 meters up to 50 meters.
Starting in the summer of the year 2008, the LC 1100 Series offers a lot of innovations in comparison to the previous crane series that Linden Comansa offers. Several of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and improvements made to the design have greatly improved the capacity, efficiency and comfort of these machines, making them a highly popular piece of equipment. The technology has developed and the company takes pride in offering all their customers a reliable, durable, quality machine which is successful in a lot of different environments.
The new LC 1100 series keeps the Flat-Top system in place, while still being a lot easier to erect. This is due to pre-installing the hoisting and slewing systems, along with the electric cabinets. These are installed at the factory and then delivered to the client. Moreover, in comparison to the prior series, the lesser weight of the slewing structure makes the crane a lot easier to erect overall.
