Linden Comansa was a corporation which began making jig and tool in the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". 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 advanced machine tools, jigs and various kinds of tools for both in-house and external use. The company also specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist business exploded to soon become one of the world's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst various other things. The company became really busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were made were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods during 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 which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that permit the development and production of even bigger and more spectacular machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers some specific benefits that has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa clients all around the globe. These clients all over the globe have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments made in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
