IH RED: If you can remove the piece from spreader you may be able to straighten it with hammer...might have to "soften" it up some with heat. I would be hesitant to try to do that on the spreader for fear of knocking/pulling something else outta line...and you will find it easier to work on the concrete floor than in the air. Might need something to lay in/under channel to "block" it in place to keep from getting it too badly mishapened as you are getting it back closer to the desired form. Might also consider cutting it carefully somewhere towards the middle... and after straightening you can weld it back. The near side bend may be a bit of a challenge, but with time and patience you can work that out also. Do as much as you can with as little heat as you can avoid. An extra set of hands may come in handy especially if you try to do it one piece.
Straightening metal can be a challenge, but takes time and patience. Have fun and good luck!!
Would like to hear how you come out with problem...possibly with an "after" photo.
