A funicular intended particularly for transporting heavy loads between an upstream station (10) and a downstream station (12), comprises a railway track (14) connecting the upstream station (10) to the downstream station (12) and a vehicle (16) running on the track (14) and drawn by at least one towing cable (30). The vehicle comprises a chassis (50) defining a median longitudinal vertical plane that rests on at least one pendulum running gear, comprising two independent lateral pendulum devices (60) each comprising a secondary pendulum (62) articulated in relation to the chassis (50) and two primary pendulums, each articulated in relation to the secondary pendulum (62). Each lateral pendulum device (60) comprises a plate (64) connected to the chassis (50) via one or several jacks (66) to which the secondary pendulum device (62) is articulated.
