The main factor is the weight of the york. Gross weight must not exceed 250 kg.
A lot of trays of DSA when arriving in the MC are part filled so 28 would be OK.
It is 24 trays when the MC/MPU despatches to DO's as the trays tend to be fuller.

I totally understand the weight factor but I wanted to know the hight of the boxes more for a manual handling point of view.. Anything above shoulder height for the imp operator..

The general rule in RM is that no container should be filled above the top of the container and must be loaded within the weight limit. So it's normally 28 trays for DSA mail.
