The corporation Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." During the early parts of the 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool makers. The company began supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and different types of tools for both in-house and external use. What's more, the corporation specialized in making 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 one of the world's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst other things. The company became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suited to the building methods during that specific 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 engineer and design cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities which allow the production and development of even bigger and more spectacular equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several specific benefits which has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa clients all around the globe. These global customers have purchased about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
