A restraint device for use with a vehicular straightening system includes an elongated tether that is connected to a restraining net along a first end, and an anchor connector along a second end. The anchor connector includes functionality for engaging the platform of the straightening system, and the restraining net includes a shape and size that is suitable for encompassing the fastening mechanism of the straightening system. A plurality of net connectors secure the restraining net about the fastening mechanism, and each of the tether, the restraining net and the connectors are constructed from materials having a high tensile strength for resisting a recoil force associated with a breakage of the fastening mechanism when a pulling force is applied thereon.

A modular repair kit for repairing damaged pallet rack frames and a method of installation thereof which incudes modular elements that can be customized by mechanical process such as cutting, drilling and connecting, for example, by bolts, that avoids major modifications, such as welding, at the installation site. The modular repair kit utilizes a standard replacement post assembly that can be cut to fit into nearly any size gap that is created when the damaged portion of the pallet rack frame is removed. The remaining elements of the repair kit can then be customized to accommodate any size of the standard replacement post assembly.

This utility patent is a specialized system enables the user to make more and higher quality repairs on frame rails more efficiently and with greater ease. This system uses a modified mini bottle jack that can be used different ways, accompanied with a variety of heads that attach to the modified mini bottle jack. More significant to this design is the large selection of heads that make it easy to select based on the type of dent or damage in the frame rails, and are specifically designed for different types of damage. In this invention a standard mini bottle jack, that is readily available on the market has a specially welded piece to able the heads (attachments) to be inserted securely onto it. The attachment heads are made of hardened metal, sculpted for ease of use in different applications.
