Lifting machine (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crane

'lifting machine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for crane that I've seen before include "Lifting device; stretch (neck)" , "Large long-necked wading bird" , "Long-necked wading bird and lifting machine" , "Device for picking up" , "Bird; mechanical lift" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Evening Standard.
