Q: 8. 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.

Q: 9. does this stack safely so I can stand on it?

A: It stacks well, but wouldn't be a good idea to stand on more than one. The surface is very smooth and could slip where the boxes meet.
