Baggage claim
 
Hello dear friends
 
Please, I would like you to help me. I have a doubt.
 
Please, what is the difference between a trolley and a conveyor belt?
 
I waw looking for the answer, surfing and surfing, I found tones of definitions in the internet but I am not convinced by myself.
 
the passsengers use the conveyor belt at the beggining TO  CHECK IN and the the final destination to pick up the luggage.
 
 
Conveyor belt
A mechanical apparatus consisting of a continuous moving belt that transports materials or packages from one place to another.  a moving belt that transports luggage in the baggage claim area.
 

 Luggage carrousel: it is a device, generally at an airport, that delivers checked luggage to the passengers at the baggage claim area at their final destination.

Trolley or cart  ï¿½ a handcart used for pushing luggage and heavy items.

 

 

on the other hand

Departure Terminal - a part of the airport where passengers must check-in to board their flight.

 

 

in the departure terminal you must check in  again. Because

 

the passengers check in when they arrive in the airport. at the end of the check in procedure they have to do it again.

Gate: movable barrier in a wall. Passengers get on a plane, bus, train, ship, etc.

Thanks a million for your help. take care and God bless you for being so generous.

your definitions are pretty clear but here are some images to help you...

a trolley in an aiport

a conveyor belt inside an airport: it takes the luggage from the check-in area to the tarmac (where the planes land and take off) and them from the tarmac to the luggage carrousel (which is at the end of the conveyor belt)

  a check-in area: you can see where the conveyor belt starts...
