Looking for a dependable 200m small water well rig for remote rural water supply projects? This YG Machinery customer shows how our compact well drilling rig helped an East African contractor deliver clean groundwater to a rural community. Many remote villages lack paved access and operate on tight budgets, making heavy, large drilling rigs impractical. Lightweight, portable 200m small water well rigs are built exactly for these tough scenarios: easy hauling along narrow tracks, simple operation, and enough power to drill through clay, sand, gravel, and weathered rock.

200m Small Water Well Rig Price
I: Customer Background: A Rural Community in Africa Needed a Reliable Water Source
In a rural community in East Africa, access to reliable water had become a daily challenge. Families had to spend considerable time collecting water, while small farms struggled to maintain crop growth and provide drinking water for livestock.
A local agricultural service contractor saw an opportunity to help the community develop a more reliable groundwater supply. The contractor planned to work with village representatives to investigate potential well locations and provide drilling services for nearby households and farms.
However, the project came with several challenges. The drilling sites were far from major roads, transportation conditions were limited, and the contractor had a restricted equipment budget. Hiring a large drilling company for every project would make small rural wells difficult to manage economically.
The initial target was to investigate a potential groundwater source at a depth of around 100–150 meters, with the option to drill deeper if the local geology required it. A machine with a rated maximum drilling depth of 200 meters offered a reasonable capacity for the planned project.
The contractor therefore began searching online for a 200m small water well rig that could be transported to remote locations, handle different ground conditions, and support multiple small-scale water well projects.
II: Geological Investigation: Was a 200-Meter Drilling Rig Suitable?
The team collected information from nearby existing wells, consulted residents about seasonal water availability, and reviewed available geological information. They also considered the expected groundwater depth, the thickness of the soil layers, and the possibility of encountering clay, sand, gravel, weathered rock, or harder rock formations.
Three factors were especially important.
- The required drilling depth. The contractor wanted equipment capable of reaching the expected water-bearing formation without immediately investing in a large drilling rig.
- Ground conditions. Different formations require suitable drill bits, drilling methods, and operating parameters. A machine’s rated depth alone does not guarantee that it can drill every type of rock to that depth.
- Transportation and site access. The selected equipment needed to reach village roads, farm entrances, and relatively restricted working areas without relying on the transportation arrangements required by much larger machinery.
After evaluating these factors, the contractor decided to compare small water drilling equipment with a maximum rated depth of 200 meters.

III: Why Did the Customer Choose YG 200m Small Water Well Drilling Rig?
After discussing the project requirements with YG Machinery, the contractor focused on the YG-240-22P model.
The machine offered a combination of compact dimensions, a 22 HP diesel engine, automatic threaded drill rod connection, and a maximum rated drilling depth of 200 meters.
These specifications matched the contractor’s initial requirements for small rural water well projects.
The following are the published specifications for the YG-240-22P small water well rig model:
| Item | YG-240-22P |
|---|---|
| Maximum rated drilling depth | 200 m |
| Engine power | 22 HP |
| Overall dimensions | 1,450 × 1,550 × 1,970 mm |
| Machine weight | 200 kg |
| Drill rod diameter | 42 mm |
| Drill rod length | 1.5 m per rod |
| Rod connection method | Automatic threaded connection |
| Maximum drilling hole diameter | Up to 280 mm |
| Maximum lifting force | 1,000 kg |
| Maximum lifting height | 2.5 m |
The contractor also considered how the equipment might be used after completing the first village project.
A suitable small water well drilling rig could potentially support household wells, farm irrigation projects, livestock water supplies, and other small-scale groundwater development work.
This flexibility was important because the contractor wanted equipment that could serve more than one customer rather than remain idle after a single project.

IV: 7 Questions the Customer Asked Before Purchasing YG 200m Small Water Well Rig
Before confirming the equipment selection, the contractor raised seven practical questions about performance, transportation, operation, and long-term use.
A: Yes. The YG-240-22P has a published maximum rated drilling depth of 200 meters.
A: Yes. The machine can be configured with suitable drilling tools for different ground conditions. We review the available geological information before recommending the appropriate drill bits and drilling configuration to you.
A: No problem. Its compact dimensions and published weight of 200 kg make transportation planning easier than with many large drilling rigs.
A: Of course. YG’s operating guidance can help the customer understand the equipment before beginning work.
A: The machine comes with a one-year warranty. If any problems arise, you can contact YG at any time. We are online 24/7.
A: We recommend the one best suited to your needs and offering the best value. If you’re still unsure, you can buy one to try it out; I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.
A: Routine checks should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and cover the engine, connections, drilling tools, and other relevant components. The operator should also monitor abnormal vibration, unusual noise, and changes in drilling performance.
Before shipment, you can confirm the supplied accessories, operating instructions, spare parts recommendations, and available technical support with YG.

V: Project Results: What Did the YG Small Water Drilling Rig Bring?
- The rig completed drilling multiple water wells in this East African rural community. Most wells reached the target depth range of 100–150 m, and one well was drilled to nearly 180 m according to local geological needs, fully meeting the preset groundwater exploration requirements.
- Its lightweight 200 kg body and compact size solved the tough transport problem. The rig could be carried along narrow village tracks to remote farmland and residential areas, where large drilling machines were unable to enter. No extra heavy transport vehicles were required, greatly cutting logistics costs.
- The unit adapted well to complex local strata including clay, sand, gravel and weathered rock. With matched drill bits, it kept a stable drilling speed, and the automatic threaded drill rod connection saved much time on manual rod assembly.
- Operators with limited experience mastered daily operation quickly with YG’s guidance. The rig ran steadily in continuous small-batch drilling tasks for domestic water, crop irrigation, and livestock drinking water.
- The flexible equipment brought more business opportunities for the local contractor. After finishing this village project, the rig was reused for other nearby small well projects instead of sitting idle, improving equipment utilization and raising overall project profit.
- Timely online technical support and warranty service helped handle occasional mechanical anomalies smoothly. Regular maintenance following official instructions kept downtime low during the whole water supply construction.

VI: Customer Feedback: A Practical Option for Rural Water Well Work
My concern was finding equipment that could balance drilling capacity, transportation requirements, and investment needs. The YG 200m small water well rig was a practical option because its compact design and 22 HP diesel engine matched my requirements, while its 200-meter rated depth provided room for different planned well depths. We will buy another one next year.
