The company Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they began their activities as tool and jig manufacturers. The company started out supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and various kinds of tools for both in-house and external applications. The corporation even 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 business exploded to rapidly become amongst the biggest tourism magnets within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among different other things. The company became very busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suited for the particular building methods being utilized during that 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 exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the production and development of more spectacular and even larger machines.
There are several particular benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all over the globe. These clients all around the world have purchased about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
