Man in suit lifting equipment (4)
I believe the answer is:
jack
'equipment' is the definition.
(I know that jack is a type of game equipment)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jack that I've seen before include "Knave (cards)" , "Lifting device - flag - boy's name - card - fish" , "-- Sprat; -- Horner" , "car tool" , "Car lifter" .)
