Crossword Genius

Hoist for a wader (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crane

I believe this is a double definition.

'hoist' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'for a wader' is the second definition.
(crane is a kind of wader)

(Other definitions for crane that I've seen before include "Bird; hoister" , "To do it could mean a long stretch" , "Long-necked wading bird and lifting machine" , "Tall wading bird can lift heavy loads" , "American writer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
