…first lifetime protection programme for heavy equipment
HMD Ghana and its partner brand Tuboshu have launched ForLife, the first lifetime heavy equipment protection programme of its kind on the opening day of WAMPEX 2026.
The programme introduces a usage-based, pay-per-hour coverage model that covers every breakdown cost, maintenance, consumables, and breakdown support for the full period of machine ownership.
Available with new Tuboshu machine purchases through HMD and other dealers, ForLife marks the most significant product innovation in the heavy equipment sector in a generation.
ForLife is the latest addition to HMD’s Tuboshu offering, which gives industry professionals three routes to machine access: outright purchase with ForLife protection, flexible equipment rental, and a rent-to-own programme that provides a structured path to full machine ownership.
Unexpected machine breakdowns are among the most damaging financial events an operator can face. A single engine failure or hydraulic fault can halt an entire project, eliminate hard-won margins, and leave owners navigating repair bills of tens of thousands of dollars with no warning and no certainty of outcome. Where access to specialist technicians is limited and supply chains are stretched, the cost of downtime compounds rapidly.
ForLife removes this risk entirely. When a new Tuboshu machine is purchased, ForLife can be added to the transaction giving the operator complete protection from day one. From that point forward, every breakdown is covered, mechanical, electrical, parts, and labour, under a single, fixed hourly rate calculated against the machine’s actual operating hours. Operators pay only when the machine is working. When it breaks down, the cost is covered.
“Equipment owners can now buy a Tuboshu machine and know with certainty that the breakdown bills stop there. One hourly rate. Every repair covered. For the life of the machine,” said HMD and Tuboshu Management.
HMD is a West African dealer of heavy machinery, genuine spare parts, machinery rental, rent-to-own solutions, and comprehensive after-sales services for the mining, construction, energy, and infrastructure sectors. With operations spanning multiple West African countries, HMD supports customers across the full equipment lifecycle.
