Linden Comansa has manufactured over 16,000 cranes since the year 1963. The first Linden 8000 cranes were manufactured by Linden-Alimak, during the year 1977 within Sweden. These models are considered to be some of the very first Flat-Top cranes used for construction reasons. The actual idea of Flat-Top did not change until the Linden Comansa company adopted this particular description during the early 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is presently a universally excepted term.
The flat top crane design is still manufactured by the company. They also produce the LC 500 Series, which is an update from their well-known NT Series. Comansa introduced the newest flat-top design and crane technology. This series features a range of flat-top cranes consisting of 4 kinds. These flat-top cranes offer a maximum jib-end load of one ton and have lengths from 35 meters up to 50 meters.
Starting in the summer of 2008, the LC 1100 Series offers lots of innovations in comparison to the previous crane series which Linden Comansa offers. Some of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and improvements made to the design have greatly improved the capacity, efficiency and comfort of these machines, making them a highly sought after piece of machine. The technology has grown and the company takes pride in providing their clients a durable, dependable, quality machine that is successful in lots of different settings.
The new LC 1100 series is easier erect, while keeping the Flat-Top system in place. This is due in part because the hoisting and slewing systems, along with the electric cabinets are pre-installed at the factory inside the cat head and then delivered in this fashion to the client. Moreover, in comparison to the prior series, the lesser weight of the slewing structure makes the crane a lot easier to erect overall.
