The company Linden Comansa was initially known as "Imausa." During the early parts of the 1960s, they began their activities as tool and jig makers. The company began supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and various kinds of tools for both in-house and external use. The company even specialized in making 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 largest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst different other things. The corporation became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suited for the specific building methods being utilized at that time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a variety 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 which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the development and production of more incredible and even bigger equipments.
There are several particular benefits offered 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 clients all over the world have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
