Yes, a vertical design like a school or gym locker should certainly work.
Stack the toroids on a simple thick steel plate, fitted with large diameter heavy duty castors. Try to keep the centre of gravity right in the middle of the four castors if you can.
All of the weight will then be down low, and well supported, and fairly thin metalwork should then easily support the weight of the inverter plus heat sink. The inverter will also then be at a convenient working height to allow really good access and visibility.
A swing out door could also make the basis of an excellent swing out inverter.
As the inverter will be generating 230v anyway, a 230v barrel type air blower to cool it might blow a lot more air with a lot less noise than a 12v computer fan, even a very big one.
