Linden Comansa was a corporation which started manufacturing tool and jig in the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mainly the larger 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 use. Also, the company specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to rapidly become among the globe's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst different other things. The company became really busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suitable for the particular building methods being utilized during 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 manufacturing and design facilities which permit the development and production of more spectacular and even bigger machinery.
There are several particular advantages provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all around the globe. These clients all around the world have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines made by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These different other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
