Linden Comansa was a company that began making jig and tool in the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mostly the larger 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 sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house applications. Moreover, 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 industry exploded to immediately become one of the biggest tourism magnets within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among other things. The company became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were produced were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods during that particular time. The 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 surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that permit the production and development of more incredible and even larger machinery.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several specific benefits that has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa clients all around the world. These global clients have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
