Linden-Comansa has been building tower cranes since 1963. The first Linden 8000 modular system cranes were built by Linden-Alimak in Sweden in 1978. These were the first true cantilever cranes to be offered to contractors. 

Today Linden-Comansa cranes incorporate all the advantages of the original design plus the results of modern engineering and manufacturing technology. Constant research and development provides a safe, profitable and durable crane with the following product advantages:

  • Simple, fast erection due to elimination of pendant lines or cables and no cat-head; 
  • Extended life time of the jib steel structure through use of the Flat top crane design, which reduces fatigue because members are only stressed in one direction; 
  • Minimum overlap between cranes on crowded job sites is possible due to the absence of a cat-head or pendant lines;  
  • Flexibility and ease of exchange of both structural and electrical components is provided by the Linden-Comansa modular design jib section system;
  • Linden-Comansa pin-jointed mast sections are easier to erect as well as maintenance free and can be broken down for transportation savings; 
  • The Linden-Comansa mast panels are designed to rest on the corner angles of the mast sections, which ensures long-life in addition to fast, safe erection and dismantling; 
  • The Oscillation Absorber in the Linden Modular 2100 Series has a counterweight that is freely suspended to allow faster and safer positioning of hook; 
  • An optional frequency-controlled hoisting and trolley mechanism to provide completely smooth movements; 
  • Linden-Comansa cranes are distributed in over thirty countries in four continents.
