Raise or haul up (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hoist

This clue is a double definition.

'raise' is the first definition.
(hoisting is a kind of raising)

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

(Other definitions for hoist that I've seen before include "Come down" , "(Equipment for) lift(ing)" , "One that could raise" , "Lift with ropes and pulleys" , "Lift (mechanically)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
