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