i think you might be mistaken there - guess you re speaking of OpenSingleplayer anyway.... the light beam should be able to - but you gotto make sure you got cargospace for them. - lvl10 fighterweapons and transport turrets take up real cargo space. - so if your cargo is full, you cannot get them.
so - if you shoot a wreck, make sure you got maybe 2 - 5 cargo space free and target them sperately to beam them aboard.

Any tractor can pick up anything. Just make sure you're in range of the item. Try moiving within 1,000m of the item. Also, looks like you're playing SP, since the Light Tractor Beam isn't in MP. All the tractor beams are the same, so it's probably just your range.
EDIT: Jinx must've posted as I was posting. Yeah, Class 10 weapons take up 1 cargo space. and Transport Turrets take up a lot. A VHF might only be able to hold 5-7 Transport Turrets before its cargo is full.
