Linden Comansa was a corporation that began manufacturing jig and tool in the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mainly the bigger 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 advanced machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house use. The company even specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to immediately become amongst the globe's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst other things. The company became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The first cranes that were produced were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suited to the building methods at that specific 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 design and engineer cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that permit the production and development of even larger and more incredible equipments.
There are some specific benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all over the world. These clients all around the world have bought approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
