Linden Comansa was a corporation which began manufacturing jig and tool during the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and various kinds of tools for both external and in-house use. Also, the corporation specialized in manufacturing 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 immediately become among the largest tourism magnets within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst various other things. The company became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes manufactured were saddle-jib. These machines were best suitable for the specific building methods being utilized during that time. The 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 which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the development and production of more spectacular and even larger machinery.
There are some specific benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to customers all around the world. These global customers have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
