Linden Comansa was a company that started making jig and tool during the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mainly the larger 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 jigs, machine tools and various kinds of tools for both external and in-house use. Also, the corporation specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist business exploded to soon become among the biggest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among different other things. The corporation became very busy, really fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suitable to the building methods during that specific time. The 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 design and engineer cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the production and development of more spectacular and even larger machinery.
There are some particular benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to customers all over the world. These clients all over the world have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines made within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These various other cranes were made prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
