Linden Comansa was a corporation that started making jig and tool 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
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house use. In addition, the corporation specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist business exploded to soon become one of the globe's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among other things. The company became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machines were best suited for the particular building methods being utilized at that 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 engineer and design cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities which allow the development and production of even larger and more spectacular equipments.
There are several particular benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all around the globe. These clients all over the globe have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
