Stretch a hoist (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crane

This clue is a double definition.

'stretch' is the first definition.
(I know this)

'a hoist' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for crane that I've seen before include "Device for picking up" , "To do it could mean a long stretch" , "Stretch to see" , "Lifting structure" , "Long-necked wading bird and lifting machine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
