Linden Comansa has manufactured more than 16,000 cranes since the year 1963. The first Linden 8000 cranes were made by Linden-Alimak, during the year 1977 within Sweden. These units are considered to be amongst the very first Flat-Top cranes utilized for construction reasons. The actual concept of Flat-Top did not change until the Linden Comansa company implemented 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, which is an update from their well-known NT Series. Comansa introduced the newest flat-top design and crane technology. This series features a variety of flat-top cranes made up of 4 kinds. These flat-top cranes have lengths from 35 meters up to 50 meters and provide a maximum jib-end load of one ton.
Starting in the summer of 2008, the LC 1100 Series offers many innovations in comparison to the previous crane series that Linden Comansa provides. Several of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and enhancements made to the design have greatly improved the efficiency, comfort and capacity of these equipments, making them an extremely sought after piece of machinery. The technology has grown and the company takes pride in offering their customers a durable, reliable, quality machine which is successful in many different settings.
The new LC 1100 series is easier erect, while keeping the Flat-Top system in place. This is due in part because the hoisting and slewing systems, along with the electric cabinets are pre-installed at the factory within the cat head and then delivered in this fashion to the client. Furthermore, in comparison to the prior series, the slewing structure's lesser weight makes the crane much easier to erect overall.
