Derrick (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crane

'derrick' is the definition.
(type of construction crane)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for crane that I've seen before include "To do it could mean a long stretch" , "Bird; dockside machine" , "Long-necked wading bird and lifting machine" , "Lifter; bird" , "Hoist; wading bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Penny Press.
