Since 1963, Linden Comansa has made about 16,000 cranes. In Sweden in the year 1977, the 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 concept of Flat-Top did not change until the Linden Comansa company implemented this particular description during the early part of the 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, that 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 provides a lot of innovations in comparison to the previous crane series which Linden Comansa provides. A few of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and enhancements made to the design have greatly enhanced these machines' capacity, efficiency and comfort, making them an extremely popular piece of equipment. The technology has developed and the company takes pride in providing their clients a durable, reliable, quality machinery which is successful in many 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 inside 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 much easier to erect overall.
