The first rolling stock for the funicular was ordered from the legendary Ganz Works by Matejka és Kriger (Matejka Vince and Kriger Vilmos), a company based in Poprad (then part of Hungary, within Austria-Hungary).

After several years of preparations, the first tourist passengers travelled by funicular on 20 December 1908.

With the implementation of then up-to-date technology, the duration of a one-way ride on the route decreased from 11 to 7 minutes.

[2][3] New rolling stocks were made by Garaventa, a company based in Bern, Switzerland.

Doppelmayr, an Austrian company helped in the creation of the new funicular, which has a capacity of 160 person, 30 more than the older one.
