lugs
Hefts with effort
Lugs is the plural of lug, which has several meanings united by the idea of something that protrudes or gets pulled.
Lugs are projecting pieces that provide a grip or attachment point: the lugs on a tire tread, the lugs on the sole of a hiking boot.
A lug is also an ear, especially in Scottish dialect, or a lug nut.
To lug something is to carry it with effort: She lugged the suitcase up three flights of stairs.
A lug can also be a clumsy or slow-witted person: The big lug finally figured it out.
