Linden Comansa was a corporation which started manufacturing tool and jig in the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and various types of tools for both external and in-house use. The company 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 immediately become among the biggest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among other things. The company became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machines were best suitable for the specific building methods being utilized at that time. The very 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 presently design and manufacturing facilities which allow the development and production of more spectacular and even larger equipments.
There are some specific advantages provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all over the world. These global clients have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines made in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
