👉 A cantilever is a type of structure that can support loads without being supported by any other structures or components. It is often used in engineering and construction to create supports for structural elements such as beams, columns, and trusses. Cantilevers are typically made from steel, aluminum, or other lightweight materials and have the capability to withstand loads ranging from tensile to compressive forces. They can be used to support a variety of loads, including load-bearing walls, bridges, and structures
