The company Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." During the early parts of the 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig makers. The company began supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and different kinds of tools for both external and in-house applications. The corporation even specialized in manufacturing 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 rapidly become one of the world's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among different other things. The company became really busy, really fast.
Production
The first cranes that were made were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods at that specific 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 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 incredible and even larger machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several particular advantages which has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa clients all around the globe. These global customers have bought around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments made in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
