Since the year 1963, Linden Comansa has manufactured around 16,000 cranes. In Sweden in 1977, the very first Linden 8000 cranes were manufactured by Linden-Alimak. These models are considered to be among the first Flat-Top cranes used for construction purposes. The actual idea of Flat-Top did not change until the Linden Comansa company adopted this particular description in the early 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is presently a universally excepted term.
The flat top crane design is still produced by the company. They also produce the LC 500 Series, that is an update from their well-known NT Series. Comansa introduced the latest crane technology and the flat-top design. This series features a range of flat-top cranes consisting of 4 kinds. These flat-top cranes provide a maximum jib-end load of one ton and have lengths from 35 meters up to 50 meters.
Starting in the summer of the year 2008, the LC 1100 Series offers many innovations in comparison to the previous crane series which Linden Comansa offers. Some of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and improvements made to the design have greatly enhanced these machines' comfort, capacity and efficiency, making them a really sought after piece of machine. The technology has grown and the business takes pride in offering their customers a reliable, durable, quality machinery which is successful in lots of different environments.
The new LC 1100 series is easier erect, while keeping the Flat-Top system in place. This is due in part because the slewing and hoisting systems, along with the electric cabinets are pre-installed at the factory in the cat head and then delivered in this fashion to the customer. Moreover, compared to the prior series, the slewing structure's lesser weight makes the crane much easier to erect overall.
