Those enclosures came with a black PVCX stand, which was just a very basic black rectangle that elevated them off the ground about 6". However, it was impossible to move them around, especially once I added my several tons of rocks, wood and various decorations! So a friend of mine is a welder and he made me new stands on those wheels - now it is super easy to slide them around to access the timers in the back. I need a stool to access the top enclosures, but I'm short so that was going to be a problem no matter what.
The individual dimmers are all taped to the front of the enclosures.
I actually had a friend who is an electrician redo all the wiring just a month ago when I moved - the enclosures come when you buy them with just a cord for the heat socket and a cord for the flourescent light, but when you have 12 of them it makes a wiring mess of powerbars and timers... So he wired it all nicely, flourescents are all together and on the same timer, all heat bulbs have their own dimmer but from there are wired together so the 8 enclosures shown are on the same timer. The little fans were also installed after purchase and are on their own timer, which is nice - lots of control over the lighting and air flow and minimal power bars being used.
