Hydraulic lifts for small cars

Does anyone make a hydraulic lift that can carry a small car on the back of a rig. I have seen them for motorcycles and scooters. Is it possible to carry a car?

Short answer is Yes. The question seems to be is it really desirable given the existing options?

Trailers are available in numerous configurations that would provide backing ability and poses storage concerns in some cases.

Tow dollies are inexpensive and often available used at even better prices. Backing is difficult to impossible and storage is sometimes an issue.

Four down towing is good when an existing vehicle is capable of being used that way. Initial setup is a little pricy when comared to a dolly, but there are no storage issues.

It all comes down to what someone is happy with and what existing equipment/vehicles are involved.
