Linden Comansa was a company that started making tool and jig 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 industry
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and different kinds of tools for both in-house and external applications. In addition, the corporation specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become one of the world's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The first simple cranes manufactured were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suited for the specific building methods being utilized during that time. The very 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 spectacular and even larger machines.
There are several specific advantages offered 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 customers all around the world have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
