1. An equipment transport bag assembly operable to handle equipment having a lifting lug, said bag assembly comprising:
an upright bag defining an interior configured to receive the equipment therein; and
an equipment-handling assembly including a load-bearing strap unit,
said load-bearing strap unit including a first section and a second section,
said first section including first-section ends and a lug loop formed intermediate the first-section ends,
said lug loop extending from said first-section ends into the bag interior,
said lug loop configured to engage the lifting lug when the equipment is within the bag interior,
said second section including a second-section end, a leg, and a lifting loop formed intermediate the second-section end and the leg,
said lifting loop extending from said second-section end and said leg, and away from the bag interior,
said first-section ends being operably connected to the second-section end and the leg, such that the first-section ends are secured in an orientation generally opposite that of the second-section end and the leg, and with the lug loop thereby extending generally away from the lifting loop,
said bag being operably connected to at least one of said first and second sections such that the equipment is supported by the load-bearing strap unit within the bag interior and the bag does not function as the primary load-bearing component during lifting and handling of the equipment.
