The standardised data interface Bär CargoConnect
Use your data with the telematics solution from BÄR
Digitalisation is being talked about a lot. But what does connectivity have to do with a tail lift? A great deal! DIN 4630 has been in existence since 2022 and standardizes the data interface for communication between body components, telematics and the vehicle. Of course, these components also include our Bär Cargolifts. With Bär CargoConnect you can transmit Cargolift data directly to the driver's cabin or to the fleet management system or flexibly adjust access rights depending on location or time (geo/timefencing) for instance.
The goal is maximum availability of the vehicle including its components and a smooth, efficient logistics chain.
Bär CargoConnect is an optional part of the software of our Cargolifts. If the option is active and the eBC Controller is connected to your telematics via a connection cable, the Cargolift data can be retrieved according to SAE J1939. The data is transmitted - together with other vehicle data - via your existing telematics solution.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
Fleet managers gain access to real-time information about tail lift operation, maintenance requirements, and equipment availability. This data supports preventive maintenance, reduces unexpected breakdowns, and improves fleet utilization. These telematics capabilities are available through Bar CargoConnect for Bar Cargolift tail lifts.
Geo- and time-fencing allow you to flexibly define access rights to the tailgate based on location or time, for example, to prevent use outside specific operating areas or times. This increases control over vehicle deployment and reduces the risk of unauthorized use of the tail lift. As a result, Bar Cargolift tail lifts support safe and predictable fleet management.
Bär CargoConnect is based on DIN 4630, that has standardized the data interface for communication between body components, telematics, and the vehicle since 2022. This allows the tail lift, as a body component, to be integrated into the vehicle’s overall system in accordance with the standard. Bar Cargolifts tail lifts thus meet the requirements of modern, connected vehicle bodies.
Bär CargoConnect acts as a standardized data interface that transmits real-time operational metrics from the tailgate system directly to your fleet's central telematics unit. This allows fleet managers to monitor usage frequency, track component conditions, and integrate lift data into their existing fleet management software to maximize efficiency. Integrate the high-performance Bar Cargolift tail lifts to get seamless connectivity and a data-driven oversight.
Operational and status data from the tail lift, in accordance with SAE J1939, are transmitted to the existing telematics solution via the standardized interface. This makes relevant information centrally available in the fleet management system. Data is transmitted via the vehicle’s digital infrastructure. The data collected includes information from Bar Cargolift tail lifts.
