The low-lift ''dhone'', or see-sawing gutters from Bangladesh, can deliver about 300 liters/min (80 gal/min) at a 1 m (3.3 ft) lift. This device uses flap valves and can be operated by a single person shifting the weight back and forth at the fulcrum.

==Suitable conditions==

The counterpoise lift is used extensively in Egypt.
