Linden Comansa was a corporation which began manufacturing jig and tool in 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 industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and various kinds of tools for both external and in-house applications. Also, the company specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become among the biggest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst different other things. The corporation became really busy, very fast.
Production
The first cranes that were produced were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suited to the building methods during that specific time. The 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 which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities which permit the development and production of more incredible and even bigger machinery.
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 customers all over the world. These clients all over the world have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines made by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
