Linden Comansa was a corporation which started making tool and jig in the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and different types of tools for both external and in-house use. The company 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 soon become one of the largest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst various other things. The corporation became really busy, really fast.
Production
The first cranes that were made were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mostly suited to the building methods at that specific 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 engineer and design cranes which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities that permit the development and production of more spectacular and even bigger machines.
There are some particular advantages provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to customers all around the world. These global clients have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
