Reclaim Carousels
TRIPLANAR and CRESPLANAR reclaim carousels — modular, five-year guaranteed, with a heavy-duty crescent-plate variant offering 10% additional usable belt width.
Vanderlande's reclaim carousel range covers the full spectrum of baggage claim requirements from regional single-belt operations to high-density international terminals. The portfolio is built around two core platforms: TRIPLANAR and CRESPLANAR, both derived from a common component base — a steel-track carrier chain with robust aluminium chain — that simplifies maintenance stocking and field service across mixed fleets.
TRIPLANAR is the standard workhorse in both flat and tilted configurations. The flat version prioritises passenger ergonomics — bags sit at waist height on a flat retrieval surface. The tilted variant adds a sloped display section that increases the visible belt length and effective bag-holding capacity within the same footprint, which is valuable in busy international arrivals halls where bags may dwell on the carousel for several minutes. Both carry Vanderlande's five-year guarantee on the carousel structure and drive components.
CRESPLANAR is the heavy-duty platform, constructed with steel crescent-shaped plates that give it an additional 10% of usable belt width over a flat-belt carousel of the same outer dimension — a meaningful operational advantage in high-density arrivals handling oversize bags (golf equipment, pushchairs, sports kit). The steel plates are flame-resistant, meeting safety standards for enclosed arrivals hall installations.
For airport procurement teams specifying reclaim in the GCC context, the five-year guarantee, common-component maintenance model, and the CRESPLANAR's heavy-duty capacity are the relevant differentiators against commodity carousel alternatives.

Use cases.
- ›International arrivals halls handling high mix of bag sizes including oversized items (CRESPLANAR)
- ›Regional airport reclaim where five-year structural guarantee reduces lifecycle cost uncertainty
- ›High-passenger-density arrivals where tilted TRIPLANAR extends effective display belt capacity
- ›Mixed-fleet BHS estates where common-component maintenance simplification is a procurement criterion
- ›Terminal refurbishments requiring modular carousel installation compatible with existing hall geometry
