Brand New!
65mm Black Panther Rampump with a 50mm flanged stainless drivepipe, installed on a NZ sheep and beef farm, pumping up 100 vertical metres delivering 13,300 litres every 24hrs

Out with the old in with the new!
33 year old 4” Williamson Rampump base had rusted out so we replaced it with a 100mm Black Panther Rampump base, installed new Black Panther valves and used the old pressure tank for another 33 years of pumping 30,000 litres a day.
Mark had over 20 years of experience with Williamson Rampumps before developing the Black Panther Rampump.

Why Choose a Ram Pump?
Zero Running Costs — Runs entirely on the natural flow of water from your stream, creek, or spring. No electricity, no diesel, no solar panels — ever.
Works 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week — Continuous operation, day and night, with no supervision needed. Perfect for filling livestock troughs, mannequin tanks, or household water storage.

Pumps Water Uphill — Lifts water 10 to 40 times higher than the source drop. Ideal for hilly properties where you need water delivered to a higher tank or trough.
Eco-Friendly — 100% green technology. Zero emissions, no fossil fuels — just cleverly uses the energy already in your flowing water.
Cost-Effective Long Term — Higher initial setup cost, but massive savings over the years compared to electric, diesel, or solar systems — especially in remote or off-grid locations.
Simple & Tough — Commercial quality proven on NZ farms.
