The company Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." In the early parts of the 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool makers. The company started out supplying mainly 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 advanced machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house applications. What's more, the company specialized in making 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 in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among other things. The company became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suited to the building methods during that specific time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a range 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 currently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the production and development of even larger and more incredible machinery.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several particular advantages which has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa clients all over the globe. These global clients have purchased about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
