ToppleTester®, ToppleMate, ToppleTilt, & DigiTilt
The ToppleTester® is the objective method for testing gravestone and memorial stability.

Thousands of accidents are waiting to happen. Our cemeteries and graveyards contain untold numbers of unstable memorials, which can cause death or serious injury. This danger that lurks in our cemeteries is regularly highlighted by serious injuries and even deaths that occur.

The Pearson Panke ToppleTester® provides a practical controlled test for memorial stability. It is robust and easy to use and provides a load read-out to confirm the force at which unstable memorials fail.

Professor John Knapton of Newcastle University, a leading academic in the field of structural safety, recommended that a 35 kg test be carried out to objectively establish stability and NAMM (The National Association of Memorial Masons) and other leading organisations have now specified the 35 kg test in their training procedures.

The ToppleTester® TT35 ProForce conforms to this test and is widely used throughout the United Kingdom by burial authorities and memorial masons. The ToppleTester® is supplied with its own carrying case and calibration certificate and annual recalibration is available.
