The company Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they began their activities as tool and jig manufacturers. The company started out supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house applications. The corporation even specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to immediately become among the largest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among other things. The company became really busy, really fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods at that particular time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a range 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 that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that permit the development and production of more incredible and even bigger machines.
There are some particular advantages provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all around the globe. These customers all over the world have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments made by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These various other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
