The invention relates to a high-strength long-service-life rack steel. After the steel is subjected to quenching and low-temperature tempering treatment, the tensile strength Rm is larger than or equal to 1650 MPa, and the symmetric tensile fatigue strength Sigma-1 is larger than or equal to 750 MPa. A great amount of data regression analysis is carried out through testing the contribution of the chemical elements to tensile strength and impact toughness, the chemical components are redesigned, so that the tensile strength and the fatigue strength of the rack steel are obviously improved, and the rack steel comprises the following components of, in percentage by mass, 0.22%-0.32% of C, 0.17%-0.37% of Si, 0.55%-1.55% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.015% of P, less than or equal to 0.030% of S, 0.60%-1.65% of Cr, 0.15%-0.45% of Mo, 0.65%-1.65% of Ni, 0.02%-0.25% of Cu, 0.02%-0.035% of Al, 0.01%-0.06% of Nb, 0.0003%-0.0006% of B.
