Linden Comansa was a company which started making jig and tool in the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and other tools for both in-house and external use. The company also specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to rapidly become one of the globe's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among different other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were made were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suited to the building methods at that particular 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 surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the development and production of even larger and more spectacular machines.
There are some specific benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all around the globe. These customers all around the globe have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These different other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
