The company Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." In the early 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company began supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
There was a strong industrial expansion in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and other tools for both in-house and external use. Also, the corporation 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 industry exploded to immediately become amongst the largest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst various other things. The company became very busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were produced were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mostly suited to the building methods at that particular time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a range 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 surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the development and production of more incredible and even bigger equipments.
There are several particular benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all around the globe. These clients all around the world have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
