Since 1963, Linden Comansa has made approximately 16,000 cranes. In Sweden in 1977, the first Linden 8000 cranes were made by Linden-Alimak. These units are considered to be some of the first Flat-Top cranes utilized for construction purposes. The actual concept of Flat-Top did not evolve until the Linden Comansa company adopted this particular description in the early 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is currently a universally excepted term.
The flat top crane design is still produced by the company. They also make the LC 500 Series, which is an update from their popular 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 offers lots of innovations in comparison to the previous crane series which Linden Comansa provides. Several of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and improvements made to the design have greatly enhanced these machines' capacity, efficiency and comfort, making them a highly popular piece of equipment. The technology has developed and the business takes pride in providing their customers a dependable, durable, quality machine which is very 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 hoisting and slewing systems, along with the electric cabinets are pre-installed at the factory in the cat head and then delivered in this fashion to the customer. Moreover, compared to the prior series, the lesser weight of the slewing structure makes the crane a lot easier to erect overall.
