Have wrapped a quarter ready to haul (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heave

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'have wrapped a quarter ready' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'have' is 'heav' which is present in the answer.
'quarter' could be 'e' and 'e' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heave that I've seen before include "Throw with force - retch" , "Produce (a sigh); lift" , "Drag" , "Lift or throw with great effort" , "Express" .)
