Since 1963, Linden Comansa has made roughly 16,000 cranes. Within Sweden in the year 1977, the very first Linden 8000 cranes were manufactured by Linden-Alimak. These units are considered to be amongst the very first Flat-Top cranes used for construction reasons. The actual idea of Flat-Top did not change until the Linden Comansa company adopted this particular description during the early 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is currently a universally excepted term.
The company continues to develop the flat-top crane design even nowadays. They have proudly developed the LC 500 Series. The main objective of this range is an update of the well-known NT Series. Comansa introduced the latest crane technology and the flat-top design. This series features a range of flat-top cranes consisting of 4 kinds. These flat-top cranes provide a maximum jib-end load of one ton and have lengths from 35 meters up to 50 meters.
Starting in the summer of the year 2008, the LC 1100 Series offers lots of innovations in comparison to the previous crane series that Linden Comansa offers. Some of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and improvements made to the design have greatly improved the efficiency, comfort and capacity of these machinery, making them an extremely sought after piece of equipment. The technology has developed and the company takes pride in providing all their clients a reliable, durable, quality machinery which is successful in many different environments.
The new LC 1100 series keeps the Flat-Top system in place, while still being a lot easier to erect. This is due to pre-installing the hoisting and slewing systems, along with the electric cabinets. These are installed at the factory and afterward delivered to the customer. Moreover, compared to the prior series, the lesser weight of the slewing structure makes the crane much easier to erect overall.
