A machine that simulates movement during transport, for the testing of packaging elements, wherein the machine comprises a load platform (1), the lower part of said platform having attached thereto a plurality of upper ball joints (3, 61,71) with a ±30° rotation angle, coplanar with the axis of rotation of a rotating support (5, 5', 5"); and a lower platform (6) which is located opposite the load platform (1) and which is provided with anchors for attaching same to a vertical vibration table (25, 26); additionally, a central support (7) is located between the load platform (1) and the lower platform (6) and, furthermore, a plurality of mutually independent hydraulic servo-actuators (8,8',8") are attached between the upper spherical ball joints (3) and the lower ball joints (4), said servo-actuators (8,8',8") being placed along two perpendicular planes that pass through the centre of the rotating support (5, 5', 5"), forming a 90° angle.
