Q: 9. Can it be used on its side, so that it is 12 high and 8 wide? In that orientation, it is the perfect size for a heavy-ish darkroom slot processor I need to keep off the floor with 12 of room to empty chems back into bottles.

A: It's pretty sturdy. I'm not sure it's a great choice though as on end it may not have a large enough base to defend against someone running into it. It's solid and can hold some weight though.

Q: 10. Can these be used for the Dana Dolly? At what height would be recommended?

A: Hi Matt. Normaly doing things under the camera is another department, another profession. But when you'll use it, you should use bar clamps if you want to add / stack the boxes. It can be a slippery business sometimes. Make sure that nothing can move sidewards by accident. Dirt, dampness can act like lubrication. The weight will never be a problem, the boxes can hold easily a magnum dolly carrying to person. Safety first, you should think and always have wooden wedges with you. Have educated and experienced crew members around you, if possible. You would need a lot of the big boxes to support your Dana dolly on both sides, wouldn't you? I personally would go to a meter hight with no problems, like I said, using clamps to make it solid. Instead think about using a ladder on both sides, or a kind of foldable platforms. I hope I could answer your question to your satisfaction. Good luck for all your shooting situations.
