Chris Evans Transport Pty Ltd is a Renmark-based transport and cartage operation with a trading history exceeding 25 years, servicing the Riverland region of South Australia – one of the country’s most significant irrigated horticultural production areas. The Company was placed into Voluntary Administration following the tragic passing of its former sole director and shareholder.

The opportunity offers a prospective purchaser an established fleet of 9 prime movers and 34 trailers (predominantly refrigerated van, tipper, and skeletal container trailers), a long-standing presence and reputation in the Riverland freight task, and an experienced workforce of 23 employees.
