Why It Matters
A pad driver is one of the most important accessories for a floor machine, as it directly impacts cleaning efficiency and pad longevity. The Malish 20" Trilock Pad Driver is designed to minimize pad movement, which is critical when working on high-traffic surfaces like retail showrooms, hospitals, or warehouses. By keeping the pad locked in place, it ensures more even wear and reduces the frequency of pad replacements. This not only improves cleaning outcomes but also saves money over time by extending pad life. For businesses, contractors, and cleaning professionals, reliable equipment translates into faster turnaround times and better client satisfaction.
Applications

- Industrial Facilities: Warehouses, factories, and production plants with large floor areas requiring consistent maintenance.
- Retail Spaces: Stores, supermarkets, and shopping centers where polished floors improve customer impressions.
- Janitorial Services: Ideal for contractors managing multiple accounts and varied floor types.
Installation Tips
- Make sure the floor machine is completely powered off before starting the installation process.
- Align the trilock connection of the pad driver with the machine’s clutch plate carefully.
- Secure the pad driver by rotating it into place until it clicks or locks firmly.
- Attach your chosen cleaning pad, ensuring it sits evenly to prevent uneven cleaning results.
- Perform a quick test run on a small area to verify that the pad is secure before full operation.
Compatibility & Fit
This pad driver is designed to fit most standard 20" floor machines that feature trilock compatibility. While it offers a wide fit range, always confirm the clutch plate design of your specific machine to guarantee proper installation. Using the right fit ensures safe operation and helps maximize cleaning results.
Pro Tips

Maintenance Best Practices
To extend the life of your 20" Trilock Pad Driver, it is essential to follow proper maintenance routines. After each use, remove the pad and clean off any accumulated debris, dirt, or chemical residue. Store the pad driver in a dry, climate-controlled space to avoid warping or moisture damage. Inspect the trilock locking tabs and the overall surface regularly to ensure they are functioning properly. A well-maintained pad driver not only lasts longer but also contributes to consistent and safe floor care operations.
