Linden Comansa was a corporation which started manufacturing tool and jig during the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and various types of tools for both in-house and external applications. Furthermore, the corporation 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 immediately become one of the largest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among other things. The company became very busy, very fast.
Production
The first simple cranes manufactured were saddle-jib. These machines were best suited for the specific building methods being used during that time. The 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 which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities which allow the development and production of more spectacular and even bigger machinery.
There are some particular benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to customers all around the world. These clients all around the world have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These different other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
