Ever since 1963, Linden Comansa has produced around 16,000 cranes. Within Sweden in the year 1977, the first Linden 8000 cranes were made by Linden-Alimak. These models are considered to be among the first Flat-Top cranes utilized for construction purposes. 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 produce the LC 500 Series, which is an update from their popular NT Series. Comansa introduced the newest flat-top design and crane technology. This series features a variety of flat-top cranes consisting 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 offers lots of innovations in comparison to the previous crane series which Linden Comansa provides. 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 equipments, making them a highly popular piece of machine. The technology has developed and the business takes pride in offering their clients a durable, reliable, quality machine that is very successful in many different settings.
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 hoisting and slewing systems, along with the electric cabinets. These are installed at the factory and after that delivered to the customer. Additionally, compared to the prior series, the slewing structure's lesser weight makes the crane a lot easier to erect overall.
