Linden Comansa was a company that started manufacturing tool and jig in the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mostly 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 jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house use. What's more, the corporation specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures specially 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 among the globe's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among other things. The company became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machines were best suitable 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 design and engineer cranes which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities that permit the production and development of even larger and more spectacular equipments.
There are some particular benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to customers all over the globe. These global clients have bought around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines made by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These different other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
