The company Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." During the early parts of the 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company started out supplying mostly 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 machine tools, jigs and various kinds of tools for both external and in-house applications. Moreover, the corporation specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly 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 one of the biggest tourism magnets within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst other things. The corporation became very busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes manufactured were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suitable for the specific building methods being utilized during that time. The very 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 engineer and design cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the development and production of even larger and more incredible equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several particular advantages that has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa clients all around the globe. These global customers have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery manufactured within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
