A second major type of vibration machine utilizes oscillation across a fulcrum in the middle of the plate, so that the plate rises and falls on either side like a child's seesaw. The motion for the person who has one foot on each side of the plate is much wilder than the motion achieved on a gentle vertical vibration plate where the whole plate is moving up and down a smaller distance.

This is a popular type of machine (see the long list below of companies making and selling these machines), as you can achieve a high amplitude and g-force for a low price—but this does not mean it is the best type of vibration for you. Also known as pivotal, or teeter-totter, the wild motion caused by having a foot on each end of a rapidly moving seesawing plate can be destabilizing for your musculoskeletal system and stressful for your brain.

Many of these companies are actually selling the same machines, marketed under different names (notice how similar some look in pictures online). These machines usually have greater amplitudes (up to 10 mm or even higher) but because the motion will be so wild the machines run at a much lower speed, usually 1-20 times per second, and maximum g-forces can go up to 8 g. Prices can range from a few hundred dollars to three thousand dollars.
