Hi Forrest; the breakaway that comes with the Deutsche Hydrapro Alpha G-1600 EOH Actuator # DH74FR is designed to be mounted upright with the side mounting holes. You would not want to mount the box on its side using those holes.
You could potentially drill in the bottom to mount it, but it wasn't designed that way or an approved installation method. If you're wanting the plug-and-play battery box this is currently the only option offered by Deutsche Hydrapro.
What kind of trailer are you working on?

Robin thank you for getting back to me! I have another question is the junction box build into the breakaway battery box? If not, when you buy the kit, does it come with a junction box to join your brake lights and turn signals to the new plug wip? Thanks again!
