BASED IN SPAIN,
Linden Comansa, (Construcciones Metálicas Comansa SA) is one of the
world’s leading manufacturers of tower cranes and luffing-jib cranes. Supported by the latest

With its comprehensive range, Linden Comansa offers solutions to a variety of construction
applications: residential; commercial; industrial; public works; infrastructure; mining, etc.
The company’s modern premises, allow rapid manufacturing, reduced delivery times and
competitive pricing. Since the creation of the company in the 60s, Linden Comansa has
manufactured more than 16 000 cranes and has dealers in more than 60 countries on five
continents.
Tower Crane Services is Linden Comansa’s official dealer in South Africa since 2010, and
operates in numerous African countries. Established in 1990, Tower Crane Services is a family
business based in Germiston, Johannesburg, and is managed by Richard L. Fletcher. His father,
Anthony Fletcher started working on tower cranes in 1969, and is still active as a consultant,
offering over 76 years of combined experience in the tower crane market. In 1996, Tower
Crane Services started operating on mines, which now constitutes one of its specialised
markets. Most of the Linden Comansa cranes sold by Tower Crane Services are high capacity
cranes (such as the 21LC750, with maximum loads from 24 to 48 tons), and are working on
mines or industrial projects across Africa, including: Congo; Ivory Coast; South Africa; Lesotho
and Zimbabwe.
At bauma Africa, Tower Crane Services and Linden Comansa shared a booth, where the only
tower crane at the entire fair, a 21LC290 from the Spanish manufacturer, took pride of place.
The crane was erected with a height of only 15 metres, a perfect height to enable visitors to
inspect the machine.
Several companies with interests in construction and mining visited the joint exhibit by Linden
Comansa and Tower Crane Services and according to Richard Fletcher, “Many visitors were
South African construction companies that we had not made contact with before, and who
have a real need of tower cranes for their projects. There was also interest shown by visitors
from various African countries, the Gulf and even as far as India.We hope to develop long and
meaningful business relationships with contacts made at the show.”
They didn’t have to wait long for the first bauma sale and Tower Crane Services has
subsequently ordered a new 5LC5010 tower crane with maximum capacity of five tons, for a
project in Lesotho, with more deals in the pipeline.
The bauma Africa Exhibition took place in Johannesburg from September 18th to 21st. with
more than 700 exhibitors and attended by close on 15 000 visitors from 110 countries.
The Spanish manufacturer
was the only exhibitor to
erect a tower crane at the
Johannesburg tradeshow.
