Linden Comansa was a corporation that started manufacturing tool and jig in the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house applications. Moreover, the corporation specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist business exploded to soon become one of the biggest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among various other things. The company 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 very 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 that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities which allow the development and production of even bigger and more spectacular equipments.
There are several specific benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to customers all around the globe. These customers all around the world have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments made by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These different other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
