The corporation Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they began their activities as tool and jig manufacturers. The company started out supplying mostly 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 sophisticated machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house applications. In addition, the company specialized in making 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 within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst different other things. The company became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The first cranes that were manufactured were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suited to the building methods during that particular time. The 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 that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the development and production of even larger and more incredible machinery.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several particular benefits that has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa customers all around the world. These clients all around the globe have purchased approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machinery made by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These various other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
