Linden Comansa has manufactured more than 16,000 cranes since 1963. The first Linden 8000 cranes were manufactured by Linden-Alimak, during the year 1977 in Sweden. These units are considered to be some of the very first Flat-Top cranes utilized for construction purposes. The actual idea of Flat-Top did not change until the Linden Comansa company adopted this particular description in the early 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is presently a universally excepted term.
The flat top crane design is still manufactured by the company. They also produce the LC 500 Series, which is an update from their popular NT Series. Comansa introduced the newest crane technology and the flat-top design. This series features a variety of flat-top cranes made up of 4 kinds. These flat-top cranes have lengths from 35 meters up to 50 meters and provide a maximum jib-end load of one ton.
Starting in the summer of 2008, the LC 1100 Series offers many innovations in comparison to the previous crane series that Linden Comansa offers. A few of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and improvements made to the design have really enhanced the capacity, efficiency and comfort of these machinery, making them a highly popular piece of machinery. The technology has grown and the company takes pride in providing their customers a durable, dependable, quality machine which is successful in many different environments.
The new LC 1100 series is easier erect, while keeping the Flat-Top system in place. This is due in part because the slewing and hoisting systems, along with the electric cabinets are pre-installed at the factory in the cat head and then delivered in this fashion to the customer. Furthermore, compared to the prior series, the slewing structure's lesser weight makes the crane much easier to erect overall.
