Linden Comansa has made more than 16,000 cranes ever since 1963. The first Linden 8000 cranes were manufactured by Linden-Alimak, during the year 1977 in Sweden. These units are considered to be some of the first Flat-Top cranes used for construction reasons. The actual idea of Flat-Top did not evolve until the Linden Comansa company adopted this particular description during the early 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is now a universally excepted term.
The flat top crane design is still produced by the company. They also produce the LC 500 Series, that is an update from their popular NT Series. Comansa introduced the latest flat-top design and crane technology. This series features a variety of flat-top cranes made up of 4 models. These flat-top cranes have lengths from 35 meters up to 50 meters and offer a maximum jib-end load of one ton.
Starting in the summer of 2008, the LC 1100 Series offers lots of innovations in comparison to the previous crane series that Linden Comansa provides. Several of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and enhancements made to the design have really enhanced the efficiency, comfort and capacity of these equipments, making them an extremely sought after piece of equipment. The technology has developed and the company takes pride in providing their clients a durable, reliable, quality machine that is very successful in lots of different environments.
The new LC 1100 series is easier erect, while keeping the Flat-Top system in place. This is due in part because the slewing and hoisting systems, along with the electric cabinets are pre-installed at the factory inside the cat head and then delivered in this fashion to the customer. Furthermore, in comparison to the prior series, the lesser weight of the slewing structure makes the crane much easier to erect overall.
