The company Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." In the early parts of the 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig manufacturers. The company started out supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and different kinds of tools for both external and in-house use. The corporation even 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 among the world's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst other things. The company became very busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were produced were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mainly suited to the building methods at that specific time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a variety 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 which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the development and production of even bigger and more spectacular equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several specific advantages that has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa customers all over the world. These customers all over the world have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
