The whole clue is the definition (& lit or double definition).
How the clue works
Look at Device for lifting — that's your mechanical jack, the thing you'd use to hoist a car. Then injured hill-climber is a cheeky nod to the nursery rhyme character who tumbled down and broke his crown. Both halves are pointing at the same answer independently, which is a lovely double definition.
