The corporation Linden Comansa was originally referred to as "Imausa." In the early parts of the 1960s, they began their activities as tool and jig manufacturers. The company began supplying mainly 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 different types of tools for both external and in-house use. Moreover, 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 soon become amongst the globe's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among different other things. The company became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machines were best suited for the specific building methods being used 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 design and engineer cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the production and development of even bigger and more incredible equipments.
There are several specific advantages offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to customers all over the world. These clients all around the globe have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines made by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These different other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
