Lift (a heavy item) (4)

I believe the answer is:

heft

(Other definitions for heft that I've seen before include "Try to determine weight by lifting" , "Lift (something heavy)" , "Judge the weight" , "Feel the weight of" , "Lift or hold something to assess its weight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
