liftable

Able to raise

Liftable describes something that can be lifted—raised or picked up from a surface.

The word usually implies manageable weight or size: The box was heavy but liftable by one person.

In technical contexts, liftable may refer to restrictions or constraints that can be removed: a liftable embargo, liftable sanctions.
