The corporation Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." During the early parts of the 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig makers. The company started out supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and different kinds of tools for both in-house and external use. Also, the company specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become one of the biggest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among different other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machines were best suitable for the specific building methods being used during that 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 design and engineer cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities which allow the production and development of even bigger and more incredible machinery.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several particular benefits that has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa customers all around the globe. These customers all over the globe have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments made by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These various other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
