The company Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." In the early parts of the 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool makers. 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 within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and various types of tools for both in-house and external use. Moreover, the corporation 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 one of the globe'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 extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The first simple cranes manufactured were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suitable for the particular building methods being used at that time. The first crane model eventually grew into a variety 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 engineer and design cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities which allow the development and production of even bigger and more spectacular machines.
There are some specific benefits provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all around the globe. These global customers have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These various other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
