First image I posted did appear when googling "hack squat" but most of the machine pics were similar to the second pic.
I've always referred that as an inverse leg press. Never heard it called a hip sled though. Learn something new every day lol0 -

If you google "inverse leg press", most of the pictures are of that ^ machine...
Then there's this, vertical leg press:

I lift as much as I can stand to without messing up my joints. I have arthritis. That means I progress more slowly than average, but I am still getting really good results! I lift every other day so that the inbetween days are rest days for my muscles and joints. What if you lift every other day, then do cardio on the inbetween days?0

No idea honestly.
I've only physically seen that machine at one gym.
An old school Gold's Gym.
I'd end up hurting myself more on that thing than with squats.
I'd somehow end up trash compacting myself since I'm magic like that0 -

Hm, yeah I can see that. It just seems so odd, and unneeded.0 -
Also, since you won't be including your own actual bodyweight, you get to load more plates and look cool.
...Although, I'm not sure "cool" is what I'd call how that looks. But, more plates, bro!0 -

that's the one that's with your butt out and your legs above you?
It's a GREAT machine- its' one of the few I actually use- it really hits that tie in between the hammy and teh glute.
They originally used to do that with just the bar- no machine.0 -

It let's you keep pressing with your legs when your lower back is fatigued0 -
