1. A brace attachment device adapted for attachment to a pallet, the device comprising: a first and second assembly, each said assembly comprising a pair of leg members each having an upper end and a lower end, a mounting bracket connected to said lower end of each of said leg members, and a cross brace member connecting to said leg members to each other at or near said upper ends;each said mounting bracket comprising a pair of L-shaped flanges connected together by a retention member, each said L-shaped flange comprising an abutment portion adapted to abut and be affixed to a pallet and a leg-receiving portion adapted to abut said lower end of said leg member, said leg-receiving portions positioned facing each other on opposing sides of said leg member, screw-receiving apertures disposed in said abutment portions and vertical slots disposed in said leg-receiving portions, wherein said retention member is connected to each of said leg-receiving portions of said L-shaped flanges such that with said leg member in a vertical position said lower end of said leg member abuts said leg-receiving portions and said retention member; anda bolt member extending through said slots of said mounting brackets and through the lower ends of said leg members;whereby with said lower ends of said leg members raised such that said bolt members reside in the upper portions of said slots, said leg members can be pivoted into a horizontal position, and whereby with said leg members in a vertical position said bolt members reside in the lower portions of said slots and said retention members prevent pivoting of said leg members into said horizontal position. 2. The device of claim 1, each of said mounting brackets further comprising an upper attachment flange adapted to abut and be affixed to the pallet, wherein said upper abutment flange is connected to said abutment portions of said L-shaped flanges, said upper attachment flange comprising a screw-receiving aperture. 3. The device of claim 2, further comprising extension assemblies connected to said first and second assemblies, said extension assemblies comprising a pair of leg members connected by an extension cross-brace member. 4. The device of claim 2, further comprising a pallet, wherein said mounting brackets are connected to said pallet such that said first and second assemblies are positioned on opposite sides of said pallet, and wherein said first and second assemblies extend across said pallet when in the horizontal position and extend vertically from said pallet when in the vertical position. 5. The device of claim 1, further comprising a pair of cable members, said cable members extending between said first assembly leg members and said second assembly leg members. 6. The device of claim 5, where said cable members are releasably connected to said leg members. 7. The device of claim 5, further comprising extension assemblies connected to said first and second assemblies, said extension assemblies comprising a pair of leg members connected by an extension cross-brace member. 8. The device of claim 5, further comprising a pallet, wherein said mounting brackets are connected to said pallet such that said first and second assemblies are positioned on opposite sides of said pallet, and wherein said first and second assemblies extend across said pallet when in the horizontal position and extend vertically from said pallet when in the vertical position. 9. The device of claim 1, further comprising extension assemblies connected to said first and second assemblies, said extension assemblies comprising a pair of leg members connected by an extension cross-brace member. 10. The device of claim 9, wherein said extension assemblies are telescopically connected to said first and second assemblies. 11. The device of claim 9, further comprising a pallet, wherein said mounting brackets are connected to said pallet such that said first and second assemblies are positioned on opposite sides of said pallet, and wherein said first and second assemblies extend across said pallet when in the horizontal position and extend vertically from said pallet when in the vertical position. 12. The device of claim 1, further comprising a pallet, wherein said mounting brackets are connected to said pallet such that said first and second assemblies are positioned on opposite sides of said pallet, and wherein said first and second assemblies extend across said pallet when in the horizontal position and extend vertically from said pallet when in the vertical position.
