The RIPPA Promise: An Industry-Leading Warranty Designed for Your Uptime

Introduction: When “Standard Coverage” Becomes a Standard Risk

For fleet managers and business owners, equipment warranties are a critical factor in calculating total cost of ownership and operational risk. However, the industry standard often presents a dilemma: short-term basic coverage that expires just as the machine enters its prime, or complex, costly extended plans that feel like a gamble. This leaves you vulnerable during the equipment’s most productive years, turning potential repair costs into unpredictable financial liabilities. This gray area of risk is where your profitability can erode. At RIPPA, we believe a warranty should be a pillar of your business plan, not a source of anxiety. The RIPPA Promise begins with our foundational commitment: RIPPA Care+, a warranty program engineered not just to repair machines, but to guarantee your operational uptime and protect your capital asset’s value from day one.

Deconstructing RIPPA Care+: More Than a Policy, It’s a Performance Guarantee

RIPPA Care+ is not an optional extra; it is the standard protection included with every new RIPPA machine, reflecting our confidence in their build quality. It is structured with clarity and ambition:

• Mini Excavators: Enjoy 5 years or 5,000 hours of factory warranty coverage.

• Skid-Steer Loaders, Compact Track Loaders, and Forklifts: Benefit from 2 years or 2,000 hours of comprehensive protection.
  This matrix is immediately more robust than typical industry offerings. But the real value lies in its intent. RIPPA Care+ is designed to cover the machine through the period where you are actively depreciating it as a capital asset and relying on it for core revenue. It aligns our success directly with your machine’s uninterrupted performance.

The Components of True Coverage: What’s Under the Hood

A strong warranty is only as good as what it covers and how easily claims are honored. RIPPA Care+ is built on transparency and comprehensiveness.

• Comprehensive Component Coverage: It protects all major machine systems—engine, hydraulics, drivetrain, electrical, and structural components—against defects in materials and workmanship. This holistic approach prevents the frustration of discovering a critical system is excluded.

• Global Claim Network: Whether your machine is operating in North America, Europe, or elsewhere, the RIPPA Care+ warranty is honored through our global network of certified dealers and service partners. You get local support with the backing of the factory.

• Streamlined Process: Warranty claims are processed by your authorized RIPPA dealer, who works directly with our factory support team. We’ve invested in training and systems to ensure swift validation and repair authorization, minimizing bureaucratic delays.

The Foundation of Confidence: Why We Can Make This Promise

We can offer such an assertive warranty because of the engineering and manufacturing discipline detailed in our “Why RIPPA Wins” series. RIPPA Care+ is the natural outcome, not the cause, of reliability.

• Built by Robots, Validated for 200 Hours: The precision of over 50 welding robots and the exhaustive 200-hour pre-delivery testing cycle drastically reduce “infant mortality” failures. We ship machines we know are ready, which allows us to confidently back them for the long term.

• Premium Component Foundation: Using genuine Kubota engines and Eaton hydraulics as standard provides a known reliability baseline. Warrantying a machine built with top-tier components is a fundamentally lower-risk proposition for us.

• Parts Logistics Backbone: Our $15M core inventory and dedicated parts fund mean that if a warranted repair is needed, the required part is almost certainly available and can be expedited, turning a warranty promise into a fast reality.

Beyond the Standard Matrix: Extended Protection for Long-Term Planning

For businesses that plan to utilize equipment beyond the standard Care+ period or at very high annual hours, we offer exclusive, flexible Extended Warranty options. These allow you to customize coverage up to 3,000, 4,000, or 5,000 hours for specific models, paying only for the coverage you need. This transforms equipment financing and lifecycle planning from an estimate into a fixed-cost, predictable model.

Conclusion: Transform Your Warranty from a Leaflet into a Lever

Your equipment warranty should be a tool for financial predictability, not a document filed away. RIPPA Care+ embodies our promise to be a partner invested in your machine’s productivity throughout its core asset life.
