April 4, 2008 • ConExpo proved to be a show-and-tell experience for Linden Comansa America (LCA). The Pineville, N.C.-based North American distributor of Linden Comansa tower cranes found many people interested in the Comansa modular tower crane line. The company had two models set up at ConExpo in March.

Erected on one end of the booth was the company's 21 LC 550. “This flat-top modular crane is part of our 2100 Series,” said Eddie Sidenstricker, sales representative. “It has a maximum capacity of 39,670 pounds with a tip capacity of 8,800 pounds at 262 feet.” This particular model could be seen at work on several jobsites adjacent to the ConExpo complex, including the Echelon and Fontainebleau projects.

 

At the other end of the booth was the LC 5211, “which is part of our 500 Series, now known in the industry as our ‘Baby Tower Series,'” said Sidenstricker. This particular model possesses many of the features and benefits of the company's larger tower cranes. “The entire baby crane line can be erected quickly and is well suited for small to mid-sized projects, while still not being constrained by height or other factors,” explained Sidenstricker.

 

LCA also introduced Mega Cranes, their new Northwest territory dealer, to the entire LCA family.  “It was a great chance to sit down and talk with Kerry Hawley, president of Mega Cranes, who seemed to be very excited about the potential in his market,” said Sidenstricker. “This relationship will look to expand the presence of Linden Comansa America in the Northwest territory,” he added. Mega Cranes is based in Surrey, British Columbia.
