Ever since 1963, Linden Comansa has manufactured roughly 16,000 cranes. In Sweden during the year 1977, the very first Linden 8000 cranes were made by Linden-Alimak. These units are considered to be among the very first Flat-Top cranes used for construction reasons. The actual idea of Flat-Top did not evolve until the Linden Comansa company implemented this particular description in the early part of the 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is now a universally excepted term.
The company continues to develop the flat-top crane design even nowadays. They have proudly developed the LC 500 Series. The main objective of this range is an update of the popular NT Series. Comansa introduced the latest crane technology and the flat-top design. 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 provide a maximum jib-end load of one ton.
Starting in the summer of 2008, the LC 1100 Series provides a lot of innovations in comparison to the previous crane series that Linden Comansa provides. Some of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and enhancements made to the design have greatly improved the comfort, capacity and efficiency of these equipments, making them an extremely sought after piece of machinery. The technology has developed and the company takes pride in offering their clients a dependable, durable, quality machinery which is really successful in a lot 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, compared to the prior series, the lesser weight of the slewing structure makes the crane a lot easier to erect overall.
