The company Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company started out supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and various kinds of tools for both in-house and external use. The corporation also 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 immediately become one of the world's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst other things. The company became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suited to the building methods at that particular time. The 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 design and engineer cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities which permit the development and production of more incredible and even larger machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several particular advantages which has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa customers all around the world. These clients all around the world have bought around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These different other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
