Linden Comansa Cranes at Work in Spain

The University of Navarra, considered at Spain’s top 5 colleges, and the country’s first private university by Spanish media, is building in its Pamplona campus a new edifice that will held the Economics and Law schools, as well as the post graduate programs. It will open at the beginning of 2012 with a total surface of 14.000 m2 and capacity for 1.1.00 alumni.

The three cranes, from the 5LC5010 model, have maximum load of 5 tonnes, jib length of 50 meters and can load up to 1.000 kilos at the jib end. They have been erected at heights of 37.5, 38 and 19.5 meters respectively.

The three rental machines have been painted with the corporate color of the construction company. Algrusa, is the Official Dealer of Linden Comansa since foundation in 1972, and has offices in Pamplona, Barcelona, Madrid, Vizcaya and Badajoz.

With a total budget of 14 million Euros, the new building will also host the Economics Deanery, the Business University of Navarra Foundation and the department of Educational Innovation.
