The corporation Linden Comansa was originally known as "Imausa." During the early parts of the 1960s, they started their activities as jig and tool manufacturers. The company started out supplying mostly 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 other tools for both in-house and external applications. Also, the corporation 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 industry exploded to rapidly become one of the largest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools amongst various other things. The corporation became extremely 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 particular 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 exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the development and production of even larger and more incredible machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several particular benefits that has made it a popular machine for Linden Comansa customers all around the globe. These clients all around the globe have bought around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines made by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These different other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
