Auto trailer hoist combo idea Nuts
They already make a 4-post lift on a trailer--they're used to haul a boat above a car for RVers. Some guys use them to work on racecars.
Either Harbor Freight or Northern Tool sells an "auto rotisserie" which attaches to the front and rear of the body and allows you roll the car nearly 360 degrees---like barbque a spit. Other types you drive on and secure to it. Wide hoops at both ends allow the car rock onto its side--like a rocking chair.
And being the inventive guy I am, if I wanted to do what you propose--in a pinch it would be "easy"--my famous last words--to use a flat deck car trailer with car cinched down, and turn it into a rotisserie: a cherry picker with a wide base could be modified to have a trailer hitch ball at the vertical post. The trailer tongue would be lifted by the picker's own jack. Basically the same set up at the rear of the trailer would be needed, except it would need a pivot point such as a traler ball like the front.

Okay, Northern has them. They call it an "auto twirler": the standard model starts at $800. Bascially it would take the place of cherry pickers aforementioned.
Another idea is buy this unit and you could either mount it to the trailer, or leave the roll around casters on it and that would let you roll it on/off as you wish.

118542-2806. Needs 18" to mount
118540-2806. Needs 40" to mount
They have variations for more money of hydraulic lift and/or powdercoat.

Yup it's a nice hardbound book over an inch thick. 2008 year though. As far turning a car on its side the only questionable things to remove would be the battery that I can think of and the fuel. The roll-to-one-side type system are popular in the UK for muffler work, or at least that is what I saw the marketing ad for.
