Jack up using beams, reportedly (5)
I believe the answer is:
raise
'jack up' is the definition.
(to jack something up is to raise or lift it)
'beams reportedly' is the wordplay.
'beams' becomes 'rays' (rays of light).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'rays' is a homophone of 'RAISE'.
'using' is the link.
(Other definitions for raise that I've seen before include "Pick up" , "Aries (anag)" , "Gather" , "Wage increase" , "Put up" .)
