Linden Comansa was a company that started making tool and jig in the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and various kinds of tools for both external and in-house use. Furthermore, 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 among the biggest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst different other things. The company became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suited for the specific building methods being used during that time. The first crane model eventually grew into a range 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 surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the development and production of even bigger and more incredible machinery.
There are some particular benefits offered 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 around the world have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
