Bär SmartControl CabinControl
Operate the tail lift from the cab and keep an overview at the rear of the vehicle at the same time
Manoeuvring with the truck and Standard Cargolift at the ramp requires extensive practice - or the Bär SmartControl CabinControl. Together with two rear drive cameras and a monitor in the cabin, you can operate and bring the Cargolift perfectly into position - if desired with orientation lines on the monitor exclusively at BÄR (patented).
The Bär SmartControl CabinControl system saves time and nerves by enabling Cargolift operation from the cab with full visibility - so that logistics processes can run without interruption and the weather doesn't matter!
For a quicker ramp approach
The Bär SmartControl CabinControl offers you when used with Bär Cargolift Standard S4...
...QuickShift function as standard for simultaneous opening and lowering of the platform directly after switching on.
Following QuickShift, an automatic stop is possible for driving underneath the ramp.
Orientation lines on the monitor make it easier to place the platform on the ramp.
The Bär SmartControl CabinControl consists of:
Bär SmartControl Plus with docking station, two rear view cameras at the rear of the vehicle and a split screen monitor in the driver's cab. The rear view camera system with monitor is not part of the scope of delivery of CabinControl.
For even more safety in the field - The assistance system Bär VisionAssist combined with Bär SmartControl CabinControl
Safety First! However, the stressful working day is often characterised by time pressure and various distractions. When unloading the vehicle at the roadside, dangerous situations can easily arise with agile eBike riders or children playing ball. Bär Cargolift has a solution for this: the VisionAssist assistance system combines the advantages of AI reversing cameras with the operating functions of the Standard Cargolift. The AI reversing cameras with person recognition monitor the previously defined movement radius of the platform. If a person enters this radius while the platform is opening or closing, the operating command is automatically stopped immediately.
The recognised hazardous situation is signalled by the flickering of the flashing lights - whether via CargoFlash on the platform, TipFlash » in the platform tip or via the optional NightGuide » flashing strip in the platform edge. Alternatively, further acoustic or visual warning signals can be integrated. After the automatic stop and a check of the hazardous situation, the driver can continue operating the vehicle.
Bär VisionAssist is available for Standard Cargolifts and VanLifts with the eBC Controller PRO control system ». The prerequisite is the installation of an AI camera system with person recognition at the rear of the vehicle. Hazard detection takes place independently of the control element used during the opening, closing and quickshift functions (simultaneous opening and lowering). Consequently, VisionAssist can be used with the Bär Control EVO operating unit » in the same way as with the control box, the 3+1 push-button panel or the Bär SmartControl radio remote controls ».
The combination of Bär SmartControl cab control with VisionAssist offers the advantage that a screen is already available to visualise the danger. At the Solutrans commercial vehicle trade fair in Lyon, France, Bär VisionAssist combined with Bär SmartControl CabinControl was honoured with an Innovation Award in the Digital Award category in 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
The CabinControl was developed for vehicles fitted with Bär Cargolift Standard systems and is particularly well-suited to applications in distribution transport, food and beverage logistics, and freight forwarding. It can be integrated into various vehicle configurations and expands the range of applications for Bar Cargolift tail-lifts.
The system consists of the Bär SmartControl Plus radio remote control with a docking station, two rear-view cameras at the rear of the vehicle, and a split-screen monitor in the cab; however, the camera system with monitor itself is not included in the scope of delivery of the CabinControl system. For the optional VisionAssist extension, the installation of an AI camera system with person detection at the rear of the vehicle is also a prerequisite. Bodybuilders should incorporate these interfaces into their electrical and camera planning at an early stage in order to optimally integrate Bar Cargolift’s tail-lifts.
An in-cab control system enables drivers to approach loading docks more precisely and quickly. Features such as platform positioning by QuickShift and visual guidance lines help reduce alignment errors and accelerate loading processes. These workflow improvements are available with Bar SmartControl CabinControl for Bar Cargolift tail lifts.
Combined with VisionAssist, AI-powered cameras monitor the danger zone behind the vehicle. If a person is detected, the system automatically stops the platform’s movement. This safety feature enhances the protection of people in the vicinity of Bar Cargolift tail-lifts.
Hazard detection operates independently of the control unit used during the opening, closing and QuickShift functions. VisionAssist can therefore be used equally with the Bär Control EVO control box, the 3+1 push-button panel or the Bär SmartControl radio remote controls – provided the eBC Controller PRO with VisionAssist software is installed. It is therefore important for fitters to know that the safety function is activated regardless of the type of control unit fitted to the Bar Cargolift tail-lift.
The Bär VisionAssist system, in combination with the Bär SmartControl CabinControl, was honoured with the coveted InnovationAward in the “Digital Award” category at the renowned Solutrans 2023 commercial vehicle trade fair in Lyon, France. This award underlines the technological leadership and future-proofing of the digital components in Bar Cargolift’s tail-lifts.
