Linden Comansa was a corporation that started making jig and tool during the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and various kinds of tools for both external and in-house 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 industry exploded to immediately become amongst the globe's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst other things. The company became really busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machines were best suitable for the specific building methods being used at 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 surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the production and development of even bigger and more spectacular equipments.
There are some specific benefits provided 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 world. These global clients have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery made by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These different other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
