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