Lifting apparatus (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hoist

'lifting apparatus' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hoist that I've seen before include "Raise aloft" , "Lift up; device for this" , "I shot (anag)" , "Raise with ropes" , "Raise or haul up, say flag" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
