The company Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." In the early parts of the 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company started out supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and different kinds of tools for both in-house and external use. Also, the corporation specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to soon 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 manufactured were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods at that specific time. The 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 design and engineer cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that permit the production and development of even bigger and more incredible machines.
There are several particular advantages offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to customers all over the globe. These global clients have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
