(OP)
Is there any type of mechanical equipment to clean stormwater inlet grates?

RE: Self Cleaning Inlet Screen

Yes, just as there are self cleaning trash racks at wastewater treatment plants. If you can invent such a thing for catch basins which work reliably, are vandal proof, are affordable, attractive, and are approvable by the MADD ( Mothers Against Dirty Drains) you will be rich !

good luck
