  • Safely installed from the ground – no repetitive movement, working under loads or at heights
  • Quickly installed – up to 4 per hour, twice as fast as other secondary support cans
  • Long-lasting – plastic composition and grout fill for longevity, even in areas where water is present

Plus, the Manucan is an Australian-designed, manufactured and installed product, with full ISO9001 quality compliance.

A full solution with Manuplex Hi-Pak High Yield Grout

Hi-Pak 2P is a cement-based two pack high yield grout, developed by Manuplex.

It’s the fill for our Manucans, and it produces exceptional strength at high water to powder ratios.

Hi-Pak can be pumped over 5000m, thanks to its two part system. This means less risk of pipe blockages, faster installations and a pump that can be located on the surface.

It won’t corrode or rot, it’s non-flammable and non-toxic. Plus it provides immediate roof support.
