Can I indicate specific bits an integer taken in R?

Question

Can I indicate specific bits an integer taken in R?

I have a bunch of numbers to load into R for further analysis. The numbers are small, <128. But there are 4G of such numbers. I would like to load them into a vector. Can I specify specific bits with an integer taken in R to reduce memory usage? Was the data gap the only choice?
