(Answered) Mech Lifting

[YingJanshi]

Ok I have a couple of related questions:

1) does a 'Mech's lifting capability get rounded up? (For instance does a no frills 55 tonner have a lifting ability of 5.5 tons or 6 tons?)

and (I know it is not in TW but I didn't see the point in doing two posts.)

2) can a 'Mech use Lift Hoists to use a Handheld Weapon bigger than it can normally wield?

Thanks!

No rounding, so 5.5 tons.

No.

Thank you for clearing that up for me!
