Those look similar to the motors in those kids PowerWheels vehicles. Don't ask me how I know but they work fine at 18v, at least until the plastic gearboxes melt.

Yea, The powerwheels are 12v DC. I looked them up and they are rated for 13v 1.5A
They are pretty durable motors, I've never had one fail due to use, only being submerged in water. I've ran them for extended periods at 18v DC, the gearbox always failed before the motor. For as long as a shaker motor stays on they might work but I don't know how the rest of the shaker motor works so the shaft etc might not be what you need, but there's lots of info out there about them, PowerWheels modding seems to be a thing.
