Linden Comansa has produced over 16,000 cranes since 1963. The first Linden 8000 cranes were made by Linden-Alimak, in the year 1977 in Sweden. These models are considered to be amongst the first Flat-Top cranes used for construction reasons. The actual idea of Flat-Top did not change until the Linden Comansa company implemented this particular description in the early part of the 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is currently a universally excepted term.
The company continues to develop the flat-top crane design even today. They have proudly developed the LC 500 Series. The main goal of this range is an update of the popular NT Series. Comansa introduced the newest crane technology and the flat-top design. This series features a variety of flat-top cranes made up of 4 kinds. 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 2008, the LC 1100 Series provides many innovations in comparison to the previous crane series which Linden Comansa provides. Several of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and improvements made to the design have greatly enhanced these machines' efficiency, comfort and capacity, making them a highly popular piece of machine. The technology has developed and the company takes pride in offering their customers a reliable, durable, quality machinery which is very successful in many different environments.
The new LC 1100 series is easier erect, while keeping the Flat-Top system in place. This is due in part because the hoisting and slewing systems, along with the electric cabinets are pre-installed at the factory inside the cat head and then delivered in this fashion to the client. Furthermore, compared to the prior series, the slewing structure's lesser weight makes the crane much easier to erect overall.
