The corporation Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company began supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house applications. The company even 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 business exploded to rapidly become among the biggest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst various other things. The company became very busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suitable for the particular building methods being used at that time. The 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 that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities that permit the production and development of more spectacular and even larger equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers some specific benefits that has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa customers all over the world. These global clients have bought approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
