Minuteman - 13" Pad Driver Assembly (Item #99752360)

Key Benefits

The Minuteman 13" Pad Driver Assembly is a high-quality floor maintenance accessory engineered to securely hold 13" floor pads during scrubbing, polishing, and buffing operations. Its robust construction provides exceptional stability, reducing pad slippage and ensuring consistent floor contact for professional-grade results. Designed for durability, the assembly can withstand heavy daily use in commercial and industrial environments.

Using a reliable pad driver assembly improves cleaning efficiency by maintaining consistent pressure across the floor, which enhances pad performance and prolongs pad life. The 13" size offers versatility, making it suitable for a variety of machines and floor types.

Why It Matters

Pad driver assemblies are a critical component of floor maintenance systems. Without a stable and properly fitted driver, pads can rotate unevenly, reduce cleaning effectiveness, and cause operator fatigue. The 13" Pad Driver Assembly allows for quick pad changes, minimizes downtime, and ensures that floor pads maintain optimal contact with surfaces for uniform scrubbing or polishing.

For facility managers, janitorial teams, and maintenance professionals, this assembly ensures efficient workflow, reduces repeated passes, and provides consistent results across multiple cleaning cycles. It is particularly beneficial in high-traffic areas such as schools, offices, hospitals, and warehouses, where maintaining floor appearance and hygiene is a top priority.
