Since the year 1963, Linden Comansa has made about 16,000 cranes. In Sweden in the year 1977, the very first Linden 8000 cranes were made by Linden-Alimak. These models are considered to be amongst the first Flat-Top cranes used for construction reasons. The actual concept of Flat-Top did not change until the Linden Comansa company adopted this particular description in the early 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is presently a universally excepted term.
The flat top crane design is still manufactured by the company. They also produce the LC 500 Series, which is an update from their popular NT Series. Comansa introduced the newest flat-top design and crane technology. This series features a variety of flat-top cranes made up of 4 models. These flat-top cranes have lengths from 35 meters up to 50 meters and provide a maximum jib-end load of one ton.
Starting in the summer of the year 2008, the LC 1100 Series provides many innovations in comparison to the previous crane series which Linden Comansa provides. Some of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and enhancements made to the design have greatly enhanced the comfort, capacity and efficiency of these machinery, making them an extremely popular piece of equipment. The technology has developed and the company takes pride in providing their customers a dependable, durable, quality machine that is very successful in lots of different settings.
The new LC 1100 series keeps the Flat-Top system in place, while still being much easier to erect. This is due to pre-installing the slewing and hoisting systems, along with the electric cabinets. These are installed at the factory and then delivered to the customer. Moreover, compared to the prior series, the slewing structure's lesser weight makes the crane a lot easier to erect overall.
