I highly recommend craft forklift. They are the only place I take my rims or any other metal work to. Any product I bring to them is finished quickly and executed perfectly. The staff is always pleasant and willing to accommodate all my requests. Between great service and quality work I give the business a 10/10.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mike and Susie for over 20 years. They run a a versatile business in doing machine shop work , repair services , powder coating and many other types
of work. They work with customers off the street as well as much larger jobs associated with the Navy. They are a long-standing business of Hampton’s history and many immediately recognize the Craft business name. A very capable business run by very good people. 5 Star !

I went to Craft Forklift on the recommendation of a local fab shop, after shopping for powder coating for my dirt bike frame. I was quoted $150 in writing to sandblast, clean and coat my frame by someone named Collin, but when my frame was dropped off, a man named Chris told me that it would be a $250 job. After telling him that I would take my pieces elsewhere, Chris and I met in the middle at $200 for the service despite my previous quote. The only excuse I was given for this is that Collin is not a powder coater and doesn't know all that is involved... After a few days, I called to check on

I should have read other reviews before I hired Chris to powder coat my tractor wheels. The work he did was overpriced and the results were not impressive. After getting rained on one time I'm already getting rust streaks staining the new powder coating. At first glance they seemed fine but now after looking closer I can tell the coating is very thin in some areas and that allows water to rust bare metal and that rust is streaking.
I originally decided to hire Craft Forklift because they were highly recommended to me by a trusted friend and I assume they probably are good at working on forklifts
