The corporation Linden Comansa was initially known as "Imausa." During the early 1960s, they began their activities as tool and jig makers. The company started out supplying mainly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house applications. In addition, the company 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 rapidly become one of the globe's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among other things. The company became really busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These machines were best suitable for the particular building methods being utilized at that time. The 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 design and engineer cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which allow the development and production of even bigger and more incredible equipments.
There are several specific benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all over the globe. These global clients have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These different other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
