I am assuming that lines/straps are run through the three standoffs. That is as far as I got though.

Allan & Frank, you have every right to be horrified, medieval torture was conducted on the living though.

It looks like it's in an old meat safe or butcher's room. Is it anything to do with butchering or meat or meat products production in bygone days?

No Frank but you could be forgiven for thinking it was for hanging meat, metaphorically speaking.

A clue, this quite gruesome apparatus hangs in the shed at the Forsayth rail museum.
Let's see if Google is your friend.

Ok your 'joining of the dots' is close.
It is a "Body Grappeling Hook" used to retrieve bodies from flooded rivers & creeks.
It is believed to have been used by the local police (Forsayth) until the 1970's.
