The company Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig 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 within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both in-house and external applications. Additionally, the company 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 business exploded to rapidly become among the globe's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among different other things. The corporation became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machines were best suitable for the particular building methods being utilized at 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 surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the development and production of more incredible and even larger equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several particular benefits which has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa clients all around the world. These global customers have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
