LINDEN COMANSA - TECHNOLOGY
FOR PROFESSIONALS
History
LINDEN COMANSA, originally known as "IMAUSA",
commenced activities in the early 1960's, as jig and tool
makers, supplying principally the larger sub-contractors
to the then fast-growing automotive industry.
The strong industrial expansion in Spain during this period
soon saw IMAUSA producing, in addition to progressively
more sophisticated jigs and tools, machine tools, both
for in-house and external use, together with pre-fabricated
steel structures for industrial buildings.
The birth of the Spanish tourist industry - soon to become
the world's largest, with its parallel demand for housing,
schools, hospitals, etc., made IMAUSA'S entry into the
crane market a logical, almost inevitable step.
Production
The first cranes produced were simple, saddle-jib cranes,
ideally suited to the building methods of that time and
the first model soon grew into a range of cranes from
12-42 metre-tonnes capacity.
By the early 1970's development of LINDEN COMANSA saddle-jib
cranes had already reached the 200 metre-tonne "barrier".
This tendency has continued and LINDEN COMANSA has designed and
built cranes exceeding 900 metre-tonnes, although present
design and manufacturing facilities permit the development
and production of even larger machines.
The particular advantages offered by the unique LINDEN
8000 Modular System crane made it a logical addition
to the LINDEN COMANSA range offered to customers around the
world and who, over the years, have purchased nearly
12,000 LINDEN COMANSA cranes, in addition to approx. 6,000 machines
produced by LINDEN-ALIMAK in Sweden, before the acquisition
of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of
this unique modular system. Since that time, the ALL-NEW
LINDEN COMANSA 1100 AND 2100 Modular System cranes have been
developed by LINDEN COMANSA, along with the LC 500 Modular
System “flat-top” design cranes from 35 to
56 m/tonne capacity, to complete one of the widest and
most modern range of construction cranes currently available.
