The corporation Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool makers. The company started out supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and various types of tools for both external and in-house applications. The company also specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist business exploded to immediately become among the world's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst other things. The corporation became very busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suitable for the particular building methods being used during that time. The very 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 that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities which permit the development and production of even larger and more incredible equipments.
There are some particular advantages 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 world. These global customers have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments manufactured within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
