Linden Comansa was a company which began manufacturing jig and tool in the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house use. Furthermore, the company specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures particularly 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 among the largest tourism magnets within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among different other things. The company became very busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machines were best suited for the specific building methods being used at that time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a variety 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 surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which allow the development and production of more incredible and even bigger machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides some specific benefits that has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa customers all over the globe. These global customers have bought around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery manufactured by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These various other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
