Linden Comansa was a company that started manufacturing tool and jig during the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mainly the bigger 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 advanced machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house use. The corporation also 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 rapidly become amongst the largest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suitable for the particular building methods being used at that 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 engineer and design cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the development and production of more incredible and even bigger machines.
There are some specific advantages offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to customers all over the world. These customers all around the world have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines made by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These various other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
