Linden Comansa was a corporation which began manufacturing jig and tool during the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both in-house and external use. In addition, the company 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 immediately become amongst the largest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst other things. The corporation became very busy, very fast.
Production
The first simple cranes manufactured were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suitable for the specific 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.
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 that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the production and development of even larger and more incredible equipments.
There are several specific benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all around the globe. These global clients have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
