Linden Comansa was a company which started manufacturing tool and jig in the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mostly the bigger 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 advanced jigs, machine tools and other tools for both in-house and external use. Additionally, the company specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to immediately become among the largest tourism magnets within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among various other things. The corporation became very busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machines were best suitable for the specific 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.
By the early 1970s, Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to engineer and design cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the production and development of even bigger and more spectacular equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers some specific advantages that has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa customers all over the globe. These global customers have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
