Linden Comansa was a company that started making jig and tool during the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house applications. The corporation also specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to rapidly become among the biggest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst other things. The corporation became very busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suitable for the specific building methods being utilized during that time. The very 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 allow the development and production of even larger and more spectacular equipments.
There are some specific benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all around the globe. These global customers have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery made by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
