Production
The very first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suitable for the particular building methods being utilized during that time. The very 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 design and engineer cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the development and production of even larger and more incredible machinery.
There are some particular advantages 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 world. These global customers have bought approximately 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 equipments made in Sweden by Linden-Alimak.
