The corporation Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they started their activities as tool and jig makers. The company started out supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion in 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. Additionally, the corporation specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to immediately become amongst the world's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among other things. The corporation became really busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suited for the specific building methods being used 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 engineer and design cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that permit the development and production of even bigger and more spectacular machines.
There are some particular advantages offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to customers all around the world. These customers all over the globe have bought around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments made by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These different other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
