The company Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig manufacturers. The company began supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and various types of tools for both in-house and external use. What's more, the company 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 rapidly become one of the globe's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among other things. The company became very busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suitable for the particular building methods being utilized at that time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a variety of cranes with a capacity ranging from 12 to 42 metric-tons.
Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier by the early 1970s. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to engineer and design cranes which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the production and development of even larger and more spectacular equipments.
There are several particular benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to customers all over the world. These global clients have bought approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These different other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
