Linden Comansa was a corporation which began making tool and jig during the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". 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 machine tools, jigs and various types of tools for both external and in-house use. The corporation also specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to immediately become amongst the largest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst different other things. The company became very busy, really fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods at 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 engineer and design cranes which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities that permit the development and production of even larger and more spectacular machines.
There are several specific advantages provided 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 globe. These customers all around the world have purchased roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured by Linden-Alimak in Sweden. These different other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
