Linden Comansa was a company which started making jig and tool in the early 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 types of tools for both external and in-house use. Additionally, the company 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 industry exploded to soon become one of the largest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst various other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The first cranes that were manufactured were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mostly suited to the building methods at 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 engineer and design cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the production and development of more spectacular and even larger machinery.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several specific advantages which has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa clients all over the globe. These global clients have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines made in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
