A first platen is associated with lift means for raising it into pressing engagement with a second platen. The second platen is movable on a support frame for the press between an advanced pressing position in overlapping relation with the first platen and a retracted position for loading and unloading articles onto the first platen. The second platen has wheeled support on an upper portion of the press frame to provide free interior space for the mounting of press operating and control elements. The press has a top opening for loading articles onto the first platen and for removing such articles. A hood is employed having a front opening for receiving and concealing the second platen in its retracted position. This hood has adjustable support on the press frame whereby it can be secured in a rearward position for accommodating retracted movement of the second platen or for securing it in a forward position for compacting the press for shipment. Air cushion cylinders are provided between the hood and the upper platen for bringing the latter to a stop without impact. The front wall of the hood is capable of supporting holders for connectors or other parts which may be used in the operation of the press.
