Action of pulling along (8)

I believe the answer is:

traction

(Other definitions for traction that I've seen before include "Grip - rat in cot (anag)" , "Medical stretching" , "Pulling power" , "Stretching of a broken bone by weights and pulleys" , "Pulling - into cart (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
