Linden Comansa was a company that started making tool and jig during the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mostly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and various types of tools for both in-house and external use. Moreover, the company 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 largest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among other things. The corporation became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The first cranes that were produced were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods at that specific time. The very 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 which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that permit the development and production of more incredible 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 over the globe. These customers all around the world have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery made by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
