Lift or haul with effort (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heave

I believe this is a double definition.

'lift' is the first definition.
(I know that lift is a more specific form of heave)

'haul with effort' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for heave that I've seen before include "Move with an effort" , "Throw; haul by rope (naut.)" , "cast like this" , "Express" , "past Hove" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
