Linden Comansa was a company that started making jig and tool during the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house applications. The corporation also specialized in manufacturing 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 industry exploded to rapidly become amongst the globe's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among other things. The corporation became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machines were best suited for the specific building methods being used during that time. The 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 which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities which permit the development and production of more spectacular and even larger machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several specific benefits that has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa customers all over the globe. These global customers have bought approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These different other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
