Air Compressors & Industrial Equipment
Used Atlas Copco GA 160: Sell or Buy at Auction
Atlas Copco is a Swedish industrial equipment manufacturer, one of the world's largest compressor manufacturers alongside its vacuum, power tools, and industrial technique divisions. Atlas Copco rotary screw compressors are a standard in industrial facilities worldwide, known for energy efficiency and reliability.
The Atlas Copco GA 160 is a 160 kW (roughly 215 hp) oil-injected rotary screw air compressor built for continuous-duty plant air, sitting toward the larger end of Atlas Copco's GA range. It comes in fixed-speed and VSD (variable speed drive) versions, in air-cooled or water-cooled builds, and in more than one working-pressure rating, all run by Atlas Copco's Elektronikon controller. A unit this size fits manufacturing plants, automotive and metal fabrication shops, and food and beverage producers running full production lines, where one centralized GA 160 can take the place of several smaller compressors. Buyers of a used GA 160 look hard at documented service history, running hours, and whether it is the VSD control, since variable speed delivers real energy savings on plants with swinging demand, so a clean, well-documented machine draws stronger bidding than one with an unknown past. KD Auctions puts a GA 160 in front of its 500,000+ industry contacts, connecting sellers directly with the plant engineers and compressor dealers actively searching for this class of machine.

What is a used Atlas Copco GA 160 air compressor worth at auction?
Resale value for a GA 160 depends on its age, running hours, overall condition, whether it is the fixed-speed or VSD control, and included equipment such as a refrigerated dryer or receiver tank. Rather than guess, KD Auctions offers a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal covering both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so you know where your compressor stands before you decide how to sell it.
How do I sell a GA 160 through KD Auctions, and how long does it take?
Call 480.455.3910 to start. A single GA 160 can be consigned into an upcoming industrial auction rather than waiting for a full facility sale, and a managed auction typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to payout. If the compressor is part of a plant closure, we can dispatch an onsite team within 48 to 72 hours to catalog it alongside the rest of your equipment. Commission is tailored to the engagement and quoted upfront, and most sellers pay nothing out of pocket.
