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 amongst the first Flat-Top cranes utilized for construction reasons. The actual concept of Flat-Top did not change until the Linden Comansa company implemented this particular description in 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 make the LC 500 Series, that is an update from their popular NT Series. Comansa introduced the newest crane technology and the flat-top design. This series features a variety of flat-top cranes consisting of 4 kinds. These flat-top cranes have lengths from 35 meters up to 50 meters and provide a maximum jib-end load of one ton.
Starting in the summer of the year 2008, the LC 1100 Series provides many innovations in comparison to the previous crane series which Linden Comansa offers. Several of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and enhancements made to the design have really improved the capacity, efficiency and comfort of these equipments, making them an extremely popular piece of machinery. The technology has grown and the company takes pride in offering their customers a dependable, durable, quality machine that is very successful in many different environments.
The new LC 1100 series keeps the Flat-Top system in place, while still being much easier to erect. This is due to pre-installing the slewing and hoisting systems, along with the electric cabinets. These are installed at the factory and afterward delivered to the client. Furthermore, compared to the prior series, the lesser weight of the slewing structure makes the crane much easier to erect overall.
