Trico Corporation

Trico Corporation has been a global leader in industrial lubrication management since 1917, offering a wide range of products that help protect valuable equipment and extend service life. Known for their engineering excellence and innovation, Trico’s lubrication solutions are trusted by maintenance teams across manufacturing, energy, chemical processing, water treatment, and food production industries.

As the official UK distributor, ABLE Instruments provides sales, service, and technical support across the entire Trico lubrication product portfolio, from their iconic Opto-Matic oilers to advanced Sensei IIoT-enabled systems.

Trico’s flagship range includes constant level oilers, designed to maintain optimal lubricant levels in rotating machinery such as pumps, motors, gearboxes, and blowers. These oilers prevent oil starvation or overfilling, both of which are major contributors to bearing failure. The product line includes both open and closed system designs, depending on the application environment and contamination risk.
