Linden Comansa was a company that began manufacturing jig and tool in the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and other tools for both in-house and external use. The corporation also specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to immediately become amongst the world's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst different other things. The company became really busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes manufactured were saddle-jib. These machines were best suited for the particular building methods being used at that time. The first crane model eventually grew into a variety of cranes with a capacity ranging from 12 to 42 metric-tons.
By the early 1970s, Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to design and engineer cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities which permit the development and production of even larger and more incredible machines.
There are several particular advantages provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to customers all over the world. These global clients have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
