Linden Comansa was a company 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 bigger 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 jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house applications. In addition, 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 business exploded to immediately become one of the largest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The first cranes that were made were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mostly 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 development and production of more spectacular and even larger machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several particular advantages that has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa customers all around the world. These clients all over the globe have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines made in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
