Tractor Beam: You can use this to draw wrecks and cargo to you, saving you the pain of having to fly to each one.
There are a few conditions with the Tractor Beam. To use the beam the wreck or cargo container must either be yours, from a member of your gang or deployed and unanchored from your corporation. If you are in a gang with someone and they kill two ships, then leave, you will be unable to tractor those wrecks. You can however fly to them and salvage/take them normally, but this could involve hostility flags.
Has a 20km range. The brand new Rorqual Capital Industrial can equip a Capital Tractor that has a 200km range. One type of ship, the Marauder class of battleship receives a 100% bonus to the range and velocity of the tractor beams. Effectively this makes the range 40km, and the speed 1,000 m/s.
Takes a high-slot.

This module suffers from a strange glitch that causes anything beamed to warp to a random point in space for the first second of activation. Afterwards the object will reposition at the correct coordinates and behave as normal. It is merely an aesthetic glitch.
Also, it is possible to use several tractor beams on a single object by simply activating all the beams prior to locking on it. However objects aren't dragged any faster. Attempting to use several tractor beams after locking will tell you that someone is already tractor beaming the object.
And to answer your question; "sometimes".
