Rope pumps can be driven by low-speed electric motors or diesel and gasoline ("petrol") engines.
Similar to the hand Rope pump, the discharge level of the water can be 1 to 5 meter above ground level if combined with a
post and extra wheel.
New motor Rope pumps (Bomegas 2) can elevate directly without the need for an extra post.
