Linden Comansa was a corporation which began making jig and tool during the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out 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 machine tools, jigs and different kinds of tools for both external and in-house use. The corporation even specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become among the globe's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst other things. The corporation became really busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made 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 range 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 currently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the production and development of more spectacular and even bigger machinery.
There are several particular benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all around the world. These customers all around the world have purchased around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments manufactured by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
