The company Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig manufacturers. The company began supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and various types of tools for both in-house and external use. The corporation also specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to soon become among the biggest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst different other things. The corporation became really busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were made were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mostly suitable to the building methods during that particular 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 design and engineer cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the production and development of more incredible and even bigger equipments.
There are several specific benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all around the world. These customers all around the world have bought approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
