The company Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool makers. The company began supplying mostly 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 jigs, machine tools and other tools for both in-house and external use. What's more, the corporation specialized in manufacturing 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 one of the largest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst different other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machines 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 which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities that permit the production and development of even larger and more incredible equipments.
There are several specific benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to customers all around the world. These global customers have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
