The company Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." In the early parts of the 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company started out supplying mainly 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 other tools for both external and in-house applications. The corporation also 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 among the biggest tourism magnets within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst other things. The company became very busy, really fast.
Production
The first cranes that were produced were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suitable to the building methods at that specific 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 engineer and design cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that permit the production and development of more incredible and even bigger equipments.
There are some particular benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to customers all over the globe. These global customers have bought around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These different other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
