Linden Comansa?s CUBE cab wins international award
The CUBE cabin of Linden Comansa?s tower crane received the iF prize, one of the world?s most important awards for industrial products design. Linden Comansa launched its CUBE cabin at the end of 2017 that combine comfort, productivity and design. BigD, the Spanish industrial design studio designed the CUBE cabin.
For Linden Comansa and BigD, this award represents the icing on the cake of a project that took almost two years to complete. Alberto Mun?rriz, General Manager, Linden Comansa, said, ?The iF award recognises the great work of BigD, who knew how to put themselves on the shoes of a crane operator from anywhere in the world to offer him a pleasant work space with the greatest possible comfort. In addition, the CUBE cab offers an innovative aesthetic design, different from what the market offered so far, and includes all of the technical requirements that we needed to add to the cabin as a fundamental part of the crane.?
?A prestigious award, if it is given by a totally independent body, is a double prize,? said Adri?n Larripa, CEO of BigD. ?What the jury appreciated isn?t only the purely aesthetic appearance, but the whole project. The CUBE cab is a small portion of the product tower crane, but it is its nerve centre in the handling and control of the loads. Thanks to a comprehensive analysis of the experience of use of the crane operator, we created a completely user-centred cab design, providing huge comfort and increasing the cab?s capacity to implement new crane functions that could arise for future needs. This project also led us to engage with suppliers to achieve these improvements with a reasonable impact on the cost of the cab.?
