Linden Comansa was a corporation which started making jig and tool during the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mostly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
There was a strong industrial expansion within Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced machine tools, jigs and different kinds of tools for both in-house and external use. Also, the company specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to immediately become amongst the largest tourism magnets in the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among other things. The corporation became extremely busy, very fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suitable for the specific building methods being utilized during that time. The first crane model eventually grew into a range of cranes with a capacity ranging from 12 to 42 metric-tons.
By the early 1970s, Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to design and engineer cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the development and production of more spectacular and even bigger equipments.
