The corporation Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." During the early parts of the 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool makers. The company started out supplying mostly 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 advanced jigs, machine tools and different kinds of tools for both external and in-house use. The company also specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become one of the largest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among various other things. The company became very busy, really fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were produced were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mainly suited to the building methods during that particular time. The first crane model eventually grew into a variety 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 design and manufacturing facilities that permit the production and development of more incredible and even bigger machinery.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several particular advantages that has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa customers all around the globe. These global clients have purchased around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
