Used Sullair LS-20: Sell or Buy at Auction
Sullair is an American air compressor manufacturer known for durable rotary screw compressors used in manufacturing, construction, and industrial applications. Sullair's American manufacturing and strong dealer network make it a preferred brand in North American industrial facilities.
The Sullair LS-20 is a single-stage, lubricated (flooded) rotary screw air compressor from Sullair's long-running LS Series, a stationary plant unit most commonly built around the 125 horsepower class, roughly the 100 to 150 HP range, and rated to deliver several hundred CFM of continuous compressed air at typical plant pressures up to about 125 psig, with higher-pressure configurations available. It is the size that manufacturing plants, foundries, and multi-shift operations reach for when one screw compressor needs to carry a full facility's air demand rather than a single department or line. Its flooded airend is designed for continuous duty and is rebuildable, which is a major reason clean LS-20 units hold their value on the used market, and buyers weigh air-cooled versus water-cooled configurations and the control type (older electro-mechanical modulation versus a Sullair electronic controller) when they price a machine. Shoppers at auction are usually plant engineers and industrial operators already running Sullair equipment who want the parts commonality and domestic dealer support that come from staying in the same product family, plus contractors sourcing a proven mid to large compressor without new-equipment lead times. KD Auctions moves LS-20s quickly when hour meters, maintenance logs, and airend service history are documented, and its 500,000+ industry contacts put the listing in front of the operators who understand exactly what an LS-20 is worth to their plant.

What is a used Sullair LS-20 worth at auction?
What a used LS-20 brings depends on its age, total hours, overall condition, the control package, and whether the sale includes ancillary equipment such as a refrigerated dryer, receiver tank, or piping, so no honest figure can be quoted without seeing the specific unit and its airend service history. Before deciding how to proceed, sellers can request a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal that establishes both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV).
