The company Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." During the early parts of the 1960s, they began their activities as tool and jig manufacturers. The company began supplying mostly the larger 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 advanced jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house use. Also, the corporation specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become amongst the largest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among other things. The company became really busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suited for the particular building methods being used at that time. The first crane model eventually grew into a variety 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 that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the production and development of more incredible and even larger equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several particular benefits which has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa customers all over the globe. These global customers have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines made in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
