Linden Comansa was a corporation which started making 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 in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and various kinds of tools for both in-house and external applications. The company also specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to immediately become amongst the largest tourism magnets within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among other things. The company became very busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machines were best suited for the particular building methods being used during that time. The very 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 that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the development and production of more incredible and even bigger machinery.
There are some specific benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to customers all around the globe. These global clients have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machinery made by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
