just left or right of their frontal centre


Explanation:
apologies for this late offer.
Looks like the key of this little enigma lies with the intended limitation of this clever 'offset' invention. the link offered below sheds the light on it. 'Offset trenching' becomes possible but is not designed to reach beyond the spanning beam of the excavator. Below is how would make sens of this sentence Does it fit?

Example sentence(s):
  • Small hydraulic excavators with a swing around superstructure fitted with an offset type business end to reach zones just left or right of their frontal centre have no problem with ordinary digging work, but do encounter problems handling the side trenchi
