The corporation Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." In the early parts of the 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool makers. The company began supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house applications. Also, the company specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures specially 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 one of the biggest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among other things. The company became really busy, really fast.
Production
The first cranes that were made were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mainly suited 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.
By the early 1970s, Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to engineer and design cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities which permit the production and development of more incredible and even larger equipments.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane provides several particular benefits which has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa clients all around the world. These customers all over the globe have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
