Vibratory compactors are used for soil compaction, especially in road, railway and building foundations.

Concrete vibrators consolidate the newly poured material so that trapped air and excess water are released, ensuring that it sits firmly and without gaps inside the formwork. Improper consolidation of concrete can cause product defects, compromise concrete strength, and produce surface imperfections such as holes and honeycombing. A concrete vibrator is a steel cylinder about the size of a baseball bat handle, with a hose or electrical cord attached to one end. The head of the vibrator is immersed in the wet concrete.[5]​.

External concrete vibrators are fixed, by means of a support or clamp system, to the concrete forms. There are a wide variety of external concrete vibrators available and some vibrator manufacturers have bracket or clamp systems designed to fit all major brands of concrete formwork. They are available with hydraulic, pneumatic or electric power.

Shaking tables are sometimes used to test products to determine or demonstrate their ability to withstand vibrations. Tests of this type are commonly performed in the automotive, aerospace and defense industries. These machines are capable of producing three different types of vibration types: sine sweep, random vibration and shock "Shock (physics)"). In these three applications, the part under test will typically be instrumented with one or more accelerometers to measure the response of the component to the effect of vibration. A sinusoidal swept vibration profile typically starts vibrating at a low frequency and increases frequency at a set rate (measured in Hertz). The vibrational amplitude measured in gs can also increase or decrease. A sinusoidal sweep makes it possible to determine the resonance frequencies in the part under test. A random vibration profile will excite different frequencies of a spectrum at different times.[6] Important calculations are made to ensure that all frequencies are excited within an acceptable tolerance band. A series of random vibration tests can last from 30 seconds to several hours. Its purpose is to synthesize the effect of, for example, a car driving over rough terrain or a rocket taking off. A synthesized shock pulse is a short-duration high-power vibration calculated as a sum of many half-sine waves covering a range of frequencies. Its purpose is to simulate the effects of an impact or explosion. A shock pulse test usually lasts less than a second. Shaking tables can also be used in the packaging process in material handling industries to shake or settle a container so it can hold more product.

Vibrating screens are used to separate mixed bulk materials into particles of different sizes. For example, sand, gravel, river rocks and crushed rock, and other granular construction materials are often separated by size using vibrating screens.
