Linden Comansa was a corporation which started making jig and tool in the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". 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 sophisticated machine tools, jigs and different kinds of tools for both in-house and external use. The corporation 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 industry exploded to immediately become one of the globe's biggest tourism magnets. 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 produced were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suitable for the specific building methods being used at that time. The 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 exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the development and production of even bigger and more spectacular equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several specific benefits which has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa clients all around the world. These customers all over the world have purchased about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
