Since the year 1963, Linden Comansa has made roughly 16,000 cranes. In Sweden during the year 1977, the first Linden 8000 cranes were manufactured by Linden-Alimak. These models are considered to be among the very first Flat-Top cranes used for construction purposes. The actual idea of Flat-Top did not evolve until the Linden Comansa company implemented this particular description during the early part of the 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is now a universally excepted term.
The flat top crane design is still manufactured by the company. They also manufacture the LC 500 Series, which is an update from their well-known 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 provide a maximum jib-end load of one ton.
Starting in the summer of the year 2008, the LC 1100 Series provides a lot of innovations in comparison to the previous crane series that Linden Comansa offers. Some of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and improvements made to the design have really enhanced these machines' comfort, capacity and efficiency, making them an extremely sought after piece of machine. The technology has grown and the business takes pride in offering their customers a dependable, durable, quality equipment which is successful in many different environments.
The new LC 1100 series keeps the Flat-Top system in place, while still being a lot 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 then delivered to the customer. Moreover, compared to the prior series, the lesser weight of the slewing structure makes the crane much easier to erect overall.
