Flare Trailers
Flare trailer applications, safe siting, and what to confirm before a rental arrives on site.

A flare trailer is a portable way to burn off excess gas in a controlled way, which cuts both environmental and operational risk. Flare trailers are used across oil and gas, manufacturing, and chemical work.
What a flare trailer does
Volatile and hazardous gases build up in routine work such as drilling, production, and maintenance. A flare trailer burns off the excess hydrocarbons and other combustible gases in a controlled way, so they are not released unintentionally. That lowers the risk of air pollution, helps a site stay within emissions rules, and reduces the chance of an uncontrolled release that endangers people and infrastructure.
Where flare trailers are used
- ▸Oil and gas: natural gas and other volatile substances can accumulate during drilling, production, and maintenance, and need to be burned off in a controlled way, especially at remote sites and during pipeline repairs.
- ▸Industrial plants: during a shutdown or planned maintenance, gas can build up in equipment and pipelines, and a trailer combusts it with minimal environmental impact.
- ▸Emissions compliance: many industries face strict emissions rules, and a trailer lets a company manage gas responsibly instead of venting it.
- ▸Flare stack maintenance and degassing: containment units such as railcars, tank trailers, and tonners can be degassed before, during, and after repairs.
Why portability matters
A flare trailer moves with the work. It carries its own flare stack and safety features, so it can go to remote sites or between several sites and handle the demands of heavy industrial use.
