Hoisting mechanism (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

winch

(Other definitions for winch that I've seen before include "Hoisting machine" , "Winding device" , "Hauling/lifting device" , "Hauling or lifting device" , "Hoist" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the Thinks.com.
