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