    Abstract: A product transportation system includes a product input assembly, a product staging assembly, and a product output assembly. The product input assembly includes a first platform and a motorized actuator that form a loading location dimensioned to receive a product. The motorized actuator can drive the product away from the loading location. The product staging assembly is interposed between the product input assembly and the product output assembly and may receive the produce being driven away form the motorized actuator. The product output assembly includes a product presentation device having a second platform and a drive carriage.
