Yes, shrink wrap with a load of snow has bent many a stanchion...
For any SS
work, including straightening
parts, I have used Whitewatermarine in Port Huron.

For something small like this, you will have to remove the stanchions yourself and bring it there, and pick up after they are done with it. They will replicate any stanchions they deem not safe to straighten.
Not affiliated with them, but I had them build me an arch, boomgallows and much other smaller stuff.
