1) you say in the beginning that "I primarily take photos for my work in a well lit manufacturing facility" so presumably you [might] have some control over locations in use for pics like #2 which are moved around via forklift or trolley. Q-- is there a "visually quiet" location that you can set up as a background?
2) is there any possibility of shooting these static pics at night - whereby you can take control of lighting [as NS suggests] and therefore the backgrounds will disappear into black?
3) is there any possibility that the firm can fork out some $$$ for a pair of good flashguns that will use a softbox so as to gently illuminate the subjects?
Hope this helps

2. Not possible to take at night.
3. At this point, I would say no. I was approved to build a photo room for small projects, due to us making a catalog. However, we ended up using a lot of computer generated renderings for this, so that room isn't used much. They will probably see this as a waste. The softbox I bought for this is massive, so I'm not sure if it would be ideal for this. Unless we can fab something up.
