Since 1963, Linden Comansa has made around 16,000 cranes. Within Sweden in 1977, the very first Linden 8000 cranes were made by Linden-Alimak. These units are considered to be amongst the very first Flat-Top cranes used for construction purposes. The actual concept 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 presently a universally excepted term.
The flat top crane design is still produced by the company. They also manufacture the LC 500 Series, that is an update from their popular NT Series. Comansa introduced the latest crane technology and the flat-top design. This series features a range of flat-top cranes consisting of 4 kinds. 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 offers many innovations in comparison to the previous crane series which Linden Comansa offers. Some of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and improvements made to the design have really enhanced the capacity, efficiency and comfort of these machinery, making them a really popular piece of equipment. The technology has developed and the company takes pride in providing their customers a durable, dependable, quality equipment which is successful in many different settings.
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 afterward delivered to the client. Additionally, compared to the prior series, the lesser weight of the slewing structure makes the crane a lot easier to erect overall.
