Linden Comansa was a company that began manufacturing tool and jig in the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house applications. Additionally, the company specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to soon become among the world's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst different other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes manufactured were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suited for the specific building methods being utilized 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.
Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier by the early 1970s. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to engineer and design cranes which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities which allow the development and production of more spectacular and even larger machinery.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides some specific advantages which has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa clients all over the globe. These global customers have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines made within 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.
