Linden Comansa was a corporation that started manufacturing jig and tool in the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mainly 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 sophisticated machine tools, jigs and other tools for both in-house and external use. The company even 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 business exploded to rapidly become among 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 corporation became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suited for the particular building methods being utilized during 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 which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that permit the development and production of even larger and more spectacular machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers some specific benefits which has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa customers all over the globe. These global customers have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines 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.
