A portable lift is provided, the lift having a base, a lift arm, an elevator movably connecting the lift arm to the lift, and detachable wheels attached to the base. A hydraulic pump is in communication with the elevator, and a power drive is used to power the hydraulic pump. The portable lift may be towed or pulled behind a support vehicle, such as a truck or van. A method of operating the portable lift includes positioning the lift on a surface, detaching the wheels to expose an entry side of the lift to a surface, extending a stabilizer to the surface, conveying a vehicle onto the lift through the side entry, engaging the vehicle with the lift arm, and moving the lift arm with the elevator from a resting position on the base to a service position to provide standing room for a service technician beneath the vehicle.
