The company Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company started out supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house applications. The corporation also specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to soon become among the biggest tourism magnets within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst various other things. The company became really busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were made were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suited to the building methods during that particular 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 that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the development and production of even bigger and more spectacular equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several particular advantages that has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa customers all over the globe. These clients all around the world have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These different other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
