We had the same issue, the bottom of the highest shelf is 6 feet tall (stupidly enough, the designer is 5'1" and didn't think this was an issue). We solved it with a step stool. There's some nifty foldable ones you can buy that are easy to transport.

I'd make sure that banner is at ten feet for visibility, beyond that, this looks like it will fit under a bus or in a trailer nicely. Keep in mind that under bus storage is generally 2.5 to 3 feet tall at max, so everything needs to collapse to that size if you use a bus. Otherwise, make sure your trailer is tall enough. The Robonauts trailer is about 6 feet tall, 4 feet wide and 10 or 12 feet deep, and I can guarantee your pit design would fit in our trailer comfy. Smaller trailers might be a bit iffy, but it could work.
