Harps come is a wide range of sizes.
Pedal harps, the kind used in orchestras, range from 70 to 85 pounds (30 to 40 kg). It takes two people to put one of those into a vehicle.
Lever harps are significantly lighter. I have a large (38 string) lever harp that weighs 28 pounds (13 kg). Small (22 string) harps can be as light as 5 pounds (2.3 kg) and can be played sitting on your lap. Also, at least one harp builder has begun making a large (36 string) lever harp using carbon composite material--it's only 8 pounds (3.6 kg)!
