Linden Comansa was a corporation which started making jig and tool in the early parts of the 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 within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house use. Furthermore, the company specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures specially 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 amongst the biggest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among various other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The first cranes that were produced were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mainly suited to the building methods during that particular time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a variety 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 manufacturing and design facilities which allow the development and production of more incredible and even bigger machinery.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides some particular advantages that has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa customers all over the world. These clients all over the world have purchased about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines manufactured by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These various other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
